Side Effects (2013)
Directed by Steven Soderbergh

Starring : Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum, Ronney Mara

A depressed wife, Emily, meets a psy, Dr. Banks, at the hospital just after recovering from her sucidal attempt. She agrees to cooperate with him if he helps her out of the hospital as her husband had just returned from jail and she needs to be with him. Dr. Banks agrees, thus begins the questioning hours between them and just when she is recovering the fateful thing happens : She stabs her husband. But she does not have any memory of it, and the side effects of medication she takes is blamed, as well as, Dr. banks for precribing the medicine. Resulting, Emily ends up in a psy hospital and Dr. Bank's carrier goes for a toss. And what follows are how Dr. Banks recovers from his losses, at the same time how he gets to know Emily more and how he takes her out of the psy wards.

The movie is neither intelligent nor brilliant, but quite clever. What makes it engaging is its executiong and the naration that makes viewers want to know more. Its a pure display of events as and when it takes place. The film's opening itself is a proof that nothing is hidden or myterious. Steven Soderbergh still keeps intact his pace in screen writing and his mastery with the camera. He holds our attention for the duration of the movie.

The second focus of the movie is on depression and the medications associated to it. it goes further tickling the derivatives market and its profits thru such kind of medications. Lot of theories and medical terms are used, but dont worry, you can skip them. Thats why I say this movie is clever that both informed and uninformed audiences can enjoy it.

Jude Law as the psy emotes quite well be it taking in all the burdens of a patient or finding himself between a murder in which he is not even related to. Ronney as Emily is perfect both as a patient and a lovely wife. Catherine does not get much screen time, but every scene she walks in, increases the pace of the movie. Spl mention to the bgm which is briliantly masked with the visual making it a character by itself.

Side Effects : Desirable

This Siva Karthikeyan is becoming "Most unpopular Hero".. saw some scenes in this film... whatever good name he got in Small screen, he is losing very fast in the Big screen..

Ethirneechal - Best for Sivakarthikeyan, he did well, I mean he was much better comparing to his other movies. The first half was not boring and in fact it was good. Second half was very much predictable and so it was not interesting. Valli's episode was inspired from Shanthi's...Priya Anand, OMG gorgeous .
