Greetings again from the darkness. So many glowing reviews of this film that I found to be extremely predictable and almost emotionless for such an emotional topic. OK, the subject matter is handled in a slightly more realistic manner than is the Hollywood custom, but still no real surprises. Underrated Diane Lane does have some nice moments of disgust and regret, but the two male co-stars seem to be little more than decoration. The little kid from "Malcom in the Middle" is there to make us believe that Gere and Lane have a wonderful family and life living in a dream home. It is just difficult for me to believe anyone would throw away this perfect life for lust ... especially with time to ponder the move. And I am a GUY! Director Adrian Lyne has quite a track record of showing the weak side of people. I think he specializes in this because it is such an easy topic/target. It is nice to see a movie written for the over 35 crowd. Now if we could get just a bit more depth.
