Is there something nasty in the woodshed? Oh no. Just another plot hole

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2020)

Accomplished acting from Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike initially mask the problems with the plot of this film. At first, you might actually take these issues for plot twists rather than plot holes. Not until the last twenty minutes or so of the 2Â½ hour movie does everything really start to unravel. Perhaps it's a plan to lead us to what someone felt was a particular unsettling conclusion.
But the result is a final five minutes that is deeply unsatisfying.
The actions and motivations of some of the lead characters seem to be suddenly turned on their heads. It just makes no sense. But by then, over two hours of your valuable time has been invested.
I've avoided spoilers and not detailed the plot holes here, but honestly, I think you might be better advised to go in with your eyes open to avoid disappointment. You could, for instance, read a pretty full list of the inconsistencies in the review here by banana-83.
If you choose to watch the film at all, watch it for the acting. 3/10.
