The Other Man

Pointless and dreary is how I would describe this soap opera attempting to disguise itself as a thriller.

The lovely Laura Linney (why she chose to soil her name with this I don’t know) is a wife who questions whether a person can love someone other than their respective spouse. Given the rate of infidelity I’d guess that’s a rhetorical question. Of course she is having an affair with a Latin lover – who else but the cheesy Antonio Banderas – in between her shopping trips in Milan. But when she mysteriously disappears and hubby Liam Neeson finds out, he sets out to hunt down the “Other Man”.

Anyone still awake? Yeah, this is one of those films to which you apply the “Been there, done that” label.

Rating: 2/5
