REVIEW:
What a fascinating film this is. "Side Effects" comes from the mind of writer Scott Z. Burns and the eye of acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh. In short, the story of this film revolves around a woman and her psychiatrist whose lives change when a new drug called "Ablixa" comes into their lives. That's all that can really be said without giving anything away. In short, this movie is fantastic. Every scene is more compelling than the last, which is a pretty hard feat to accomplish. All of the acting, particularly from Jude Law and Rooney Mara, is top notch and of caliber. There are twists and turns around every corner that just keep you guessing until the end. Why this film was released in February is a mystery to me, because, had this film been released in April or May, it might have had a stronger awards consideration, particularly from the performances and Scott Z. Burns' script. Overall, "Side Effects" is an engaging, thrilling, and entertaining medical thriller that is definitely worth your time.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
