The Other Man (2008)
Frighteningly flimsy script. Poor direction.

Appalling script. Considering the class of actors, namely Liam Neeson (personally can't stand Laura "Two-Dimensional" Linney), you'd expect less vacuous performances. I guess they did what they could with such flimsy dialogue. From the basic synopsis, the plot had promise. A theme that people could identify with and feel empathy for the protagonist. However, its attempt to be dark and tormented is laughable. Surprisingly forced. Even the relationship with the daughter was tissue thin. Whatever the father's problem was with her boyfriend, we'll never know. All really poorly constructed. A great shame they didn't have a more powerful Director to really dig deep.
