This is a pretty entertaining thriller. The premise is as old as the world: a wife discovers that her man has been unfaithful and confronts him. In this case Liv wavers some time between forgiving or revenge, and in the process accepts Will's peace offer for a sort of road trip to regain their mutual trust and save the marriage. Until along the road fate has some surprises in store, and things take a deadly turn.
The story is solid and involving, and it's a nice touch that here the cheated wife isn't sympathetic at all, but relentlessly goes for her husbands throat, especially when she finds out that his reconciliation is mostly an act and his adultery continues. The story is told from the point of view of Liv, even literally so, with her voice-over giving time and again all kinds of comments (a bit redundant, in my opinion, adding nothing to what we already see). This results in a rather cynical ultimate scene, where her voice-over seems to justify her (very questionable) deeds. I must admit that I had some troubles with the almost men-debunking moral of that.
Jenna Coleman is absolutely great, she carries the whole project on her shoulders, she's beautiful in an almost young Audrey Hepburn-like way, but also spicy and strong willed. Husband Will is played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, unfortunately they made his character into this stammering and whining wimp, it was a bit hard to imagine him as an incorrigible philandering Don Juan. And I have a soft spot for Eric Balfour, but here his role didn't give him much to put his teeth in.
In short: entertaining, but with an unrewarding closure.
