Review of movie 'Side Effects'

'Side Effects' a movie starring Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rooney Mara. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Scott Z.Burns.
  


        Stay way from shrinks or if you go to one, don't swallow everything they prescribe.
        That's the message beamed out by the movie 'Side Effects' directed by Steven Soderbergh. Emily Taylor, played by Rooney Mara is a twenty something, very depressed wife of Martin Taylor, played by Channing Tatum. Martin's just done five years in prison for insider trading. Emily has lost a child in a miscarriage and then this childless woman, drives her car into a brick wall. To be cured of her depression, that may have caused her accident, Emily ends up in the care of psychiatrist Jonathan Banks, played by Jude Law.
    "Did you try to hurt yourself this morning," asks Banks when he first sees her in hospital. Soon he's prescribing Ablixa for her to take. This supposed anti-depressant may have side effects.
      To find out Emily's past, Jonathan heads off to see Emily's first psychiatrist, Victoria Siebert, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Soon all hell breaks loose and there's a murder, a trial and lots of other stuff. The movie turns into a 'who done it' mystery thriller.
    Cleverly scripted by Scott Z. Barnes, 'Side Effects' has twists and turns that'll keeped you glued to your seat. Still, as one formerly unbalanced friend of mine once said, "Some shrinks are crazy." I'd believe that especially after watching "Side Effects'. But also remember that some pills can endanger your life.
     The one message that I didn't like that came out of this film is that lesbians may be evil. But then again, no movie can give you everything you want.
