jcbinok "Details" reminds me of the type of movie that was popular in the mid-2000's: every character is just a bit off. Tobey Maguire plays a obstetrician, Jeff, who's addicted to porn; his wife is cheating on him; his neighbor sniffs basil; his female friend gets him high in her husband's vintage car then they proceed to have sex...you get the idea. It's one weird tangent after another. Jeff engenders little sympathy in viewers up through the scene where he tries to buy off the cuckolded husband, Frank (Ray Liotta), who puts in a powerful performance during their confrontation.Maguire's character makes an attempt to change his ways at this point by donating a kidney to his sick buddy, Link (Haysbert). That leads to a second powerful scene(in the church), but not until after the healed buddy kills Jeff's "unreasonable" pregnant neighbor. Sounds complicated, I know.The church scene gets cut off way too quickly, though, IMO (like a sudden fade-out during a killer guitar solo). The movie hurries back to safer ground with the final scenes playing out in domestic "bliss." Jeff and his wife lay their secrets on the table and decide to stay together and not go to the authorities "for the good of the children."It's all so absurd. Wasn't there a police investigation? Surely, Jeff's name would come up in that he was the dead woman's next door neighbor and her obstetrician. Oh well. The movie tries to walk the tightrope between farce and drama. Apart from a couple of scenes with Liotta and Haysbert, it felt much closer to farce.
Death Man Yesterday I saw this movie, I would describe this movie with 1 word "Masterpiece", It's an intense black comedy movie, where you laugh and cry at the same time.This movie will touch you, and as time passes you'll be more immersed in the story because this kind of drama happens in our world today, and that's what make it interesting, because we humans are so curious and inconsistent in what we want, sometimes our reality it's too dam hard that make us lose our consciousness and we fall and commit bad desires, desires that you will enjoy at the moment, but you will pay for it. Another important thing about this movie is that you will find the purest sense of misunderstanding that will land into distort in most of the characters.I will never going to understand why there is such a bad reviews about it,maybe because this movie is hard to digest, or maybe some people don't get the massage behind. By the way I suggest everyone to watch this movie you won't regret it.
sree467 Simply put, this film puts its lead to an incredible roller coaster ride by the middle of the movie, for the mistakes and choices he makes at certain points in the journey, which could mostly have been made by anyone of us going through the same situations. The consequences are nothing less than 'poetic justice' till the end. Ending is debatable but not certainly bad. The whole movie watching experience was an equal roller coaster ride for me.Casting is good. Lead actor looks perfect for the role. Most of the cast does good work.I'm writing this last line just because IMDb wants 10 lines in the review but just go, watch the movie on netflix (or anywhere else) and decide it for yourself.
TxMike I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies and I took a chance, even though it has a mediocre rating. I'm glad I did, for a "dark comedy" I found it very entertaining. Of course having an A-list cast also makes all the difference, each one is superb.Tobey Maguire is OBGYN physician Jeff Lang , happily married for 10 years to Elizabeth Banks as Nealy Lang . They have a young son, and are hoping to have another. This generates a need to build a minor addition onto their house, and from that springs most of the excitement in the rest of the story. A big part of that is raccoons invading the back yard at night, pulling up the sod for the worms.Jeff's good friend from medical school is Kerry Washington as Psychiatrist Rebecca Mazzoni, married to restaurateur Ray Liotta as Peter Mazzoni. They and the Langs are good friends, all living and working in Seattle. As the construction and back yard sodding project moves forward, Laura Linney as next door neighbor, crazy lady Lila , ends up being a big thorn in Jeff's paw. She plays her role to perfection. As well as Dennis Haysbert as Lincoln , who Jeff only knows via their playing basketball together. Lincoln is a former all-star player in college, but now has failing kidneys and works in a construction job.To write more at this point would be chancing spoiling the movie, so I will reserve that for after my "SPOILERS" section below. In summary Jeff gets himself into a number of binds and has to decide to be honest with his wife and do the right things. Well, some of them.SPOILERS: Everything seems to go wrong at once. Nealy rejects Jeff, much later he finds out because she was having her own affair, so when he goes to Rebecca for comfort and advice they end up having sex. That ends up breaking up Rebecca's and Peter's marriage. In the meantime his poison intended for the raccoons kills Lila's cat, she demands sex, later finds out she is pregnant. Meanwhile Jeff does a good thing, he donates a kidney to Lincoln, plus hooks him up for a high school coaching job, and all are grateful. But when Jeff tells Lincoln of his problem with Lila, and his dream of her death by an arrow while walking her dog, Lincoln buys archery equipment and makes that dream a reality. In the end Nealy is pregnant, she confesses her own affair, and they decide that keeping everything to themselves is better than breaking up two families. A dark comedy!
