Wonderful, scary, great and so scary

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2017)

I actually stumbled across this movie through Honest Trailers, which I stopped half way through since it looked intriguing and then I went to watch, something I both regret and feel very happy for.
Regret because I have dated this girl - not just one of them, several. Okay, none of my psychotic ex:es framed me for murder or rape, but the mindset, the intent, the malevolent way of thinking, that, that I have experienced. So to watch this movie wherein a women take that mindset to the edge is kind of scary, I kept thinking: that could be me.
Very happy because this is a great movie. I cannot believe that this is the same Affleck that plays Batman like a tired old rocking chair. Rosamund is amazing, and so are all the supporting cast. Fantastic acting, great story, great directing. This is one of the better movies I have seen that also contain several weird plots and twists.
The negative is that when Afflecks characters find out his wife is pregnant, he goes along with it. That felt a bit out of character and I disliked that he cave in, so the end of the movie did not fully work for me. Personally I hoped he would go postal or something, but on the other hand it could be a setup for a sequel? I was also, for some reason, annoyed by the cat. The freaking cat was everywhere, it felt like a plot devise that never happen and I fully expected something to happen with or to it, but it never did. My final complaint is that the police/FBI did not, or at least seemingly not, investigate properly. Come on! A murder that wasn't, a killed rapist by the supposed victim, weird turns, so many clues and an apparent setup and then suddenly the "murdered" comes back having killed a guy!? Kind of suspicious times 10, but yea, it sort of made the story...
Despite my complaints I give this a 9 out of 10, and I highly recommend.
