With a solid cast and all around good pedigree, I was hoping for an effective psychological thriller. When it was almost over, I was asking myself "What's the point of this movie?" I'm still not certain. Just a couple attractive but despicable people being despicable. It was effective in Gone Girl, but not here. Not much more to say,
