to Laura Linney. I'd agree and add in a goodly helping of Body Heat era Kathleen Turner as well.I thought Affleck was perfectly cast in his role. Kim Dickens played well against type.
The film does have holes in it if analyzed too closely. But Hell, it was NOT a police procedural drama.
No bargain matinee here, I paid $11.25, at noon, on a freekin Tuesday. It was being shown in the XD equipped auditorium. Ughhhhh

She is one of those "love the brain, then the body" types. She classes up just about everything she is in, even "The End of the World".

Unless there's some photographic magic at work, they look like they're about mature navel orange orange sized, not bad at all

...were you staring at Ben's package?
I'm ready to proclaim them au naturel, nice, and intriguing, if a wee bit saggylacious. If yer not a fan now you will be soon

at once, or individually. Crackers or not.
WHOOPS, side boob!
not because it was titillating but because it was a manly carpet munch instead of vice versa. Usually, a manly carpet munch receives a NC-17 rating whereas a woman can perform on a man in every movie and it is a R. Never thought about it in my entire, perverted life. The scene surely did not have the gravitas of the Fassbinder/Cruz opening in 'The Counselor' which was an R, I think.
...on Cinemax.
The very first episode if I recall.

How did you get past the nonchalance of everyone when she was missing for 24-hours? Pretty much anyone w/2 neurons to rub together, at that point, knows the result isn't going to be good. Affleck's character, especially, would have faked more concern to appear more innocent.
The old boyfriend just happens to be a kidnapper? And the wife seemingly on the spur of the moment becomes a vicious, cold-blooded murderess?
C'mon.
This was way over-written. Hollywood seems to think that complexity makes for excellence. Every group of writers adds another layer, resulting in a meal that has way too many sauces.
Kathleen Turner's character in Body Heat. Her plan was meticulously laid out and executed up until the point the skeezes robbered her. I think she weighed her options once young master Affleck made his plea on TV. She was out of cash, staying with a control freak for whom she had zero feelings, and took what she figured was the best way out to at least get some resemblance of a normal life back.
I won't argue with plot inconsistencies, there were some, especially the one line of dialogue utter3ed by Kim Dickens' partner which swept away the blatant inconsistencies in her story that the film record at Harris' house would have shown, i.e.,. The movie, taken as a whole, worked well for me. I did chuckle at her blood covered return to Dunne Manor. In the near future we'll all be singing the praises of Rosamund Pike.

Remember the film was actually in two parts: Affleck's accusal and Pike's escape. She had meticulously planned the whole thing and that is hard to imagine that someone is so analog they could do it in such detail.
Probably going to get some Oscar action, nominations-wise.
...of "do you really know what's going on in your marriage", I thought their send-up of the media "reality expose" shows was much more vivid on screen than in the book.
