Side Effects

What I liked:

• Rooney Mara plays complicated characters very well.
• Jude Law was believable.
• It also stars Channing Tatum, Vinessa Shaw, Ann Dowd, Polly Draper, David Costabile, Mamie Gummer, and Marin Ireland.
• It was directed by Steven Soderbergh.
• There are enough twists and turns to keep the story interesting.
• The music compliments the story.
• It poses the question: If something bad happens to you, at what point do you turn that badness into goodness without actually turning bad yourself?

What I didn't like:

• You know that Catherine Zeta-Jones is in the film since she is on the poster but you don't see her much in the first 3/4 of the film leading you to believe that she is tied in with the ending somehow.  It's almost a spoiler in itself.
