petarmatic This film talks about eternal theme, adultery. It is very well made, but since adultery is so common these days, may be the theme is a little bit too old fashioned.It is a very well made film, acting of two principal actors is excellent. Liam Neeson is so good in this role, much better then in the role Million ways to die in the West.I will recommend this film, especially to those who have problems with their marriages, but hell just live with it! When she tries Mediterranean type, there is no going back!Unless you offer more millions then his length...

gavin6942 The story of a husband (Liam Neeson) who suspects his wife (Laura Linney) of adultery, and sets out to track down the other man (Antonio Banderas) in her life.Frankly, I was not all that impressed with this film. What redeems it is the strong performances from both Neeson and Banderas, who could eat up screen time and entertain just by the way they deliver their lines. The game between them is tense and emotional, but also well-crafted.The actual plot was just alright. I do not know that it was handled in the way we might expect a love triangle to be handled, and if the way it was happened to be the right way at all.

pc95 "The Other Man", directed by Richard Eyre, is a fairly clunky movie. It goes on for quite awhile before pulling it's big turnaround which in fact turns the movie upside down and makes it fairly inert in terms of it's intended potency. I did like Antonio Banderas character who sparkled the most in the runtime. That particular setup was interesting, however Neeson's character was particularly pathetic and terrible to watch. (major spoiler) When we are finally told outright that Linney's character has passed, all of the sudden the whole movie feels like a cheap rip-off, and the motivation involved all of the sudden becomes nothing but obsession. It became a cheap trip. 5/10

emily-583 This isn't a simple film. It's a film that plays with time to tell a story encompassing love, jealousy, anger, loss and pain. It covers the gamut of emotions one feels when betrayed and follows the path a man goes down as he discovers his wife has had another love.I loved Liam Neeson's descent into jealous rage and the discoveries he made about himself, his family and his relationship as he discovers secrets from his wife's past. A moody film, perfectly adapted to its subject matter, you feel drawn into Neeson's character's despair.It's not the best film I've seen recently but it's one I'm glad I saw and would heartily recommend it to others who are willing to think a film through its details. The acting's good and both Liam Neeson and Laura Linney carry the plot well. Antonio Banderas plays a less rounded role, but still does so enjoyably.Definitely a film worth watching.
