Side Effects

2 Paws
Seen recently at Aksarben Cinema

This isn't a thriller, as the trailer sneakily implies. This isn't the type of movie where you can run out and buy Junior Mints when you start feeling a little peckish, as you're apt to miss something pivotal. This isn't the best choice for Channing Tatum fans, as he doesn't make it very far into the film.

This is, however, a pretty good psychological exercise, a twisty-turny tale that shows viewers the seedy side of the pharmaceutical business - any more said will ruin the intricately-woven plot.

On a side note, it's nice to see Polly Draper - Ellyn from the thirtysomething gang - looking fine in a small role as the lead character's boss. I think it's time for a fiftysomething reboot.

Bonus Bones: 0
No dogs, not even any in need of meds.
