Watch Side Effects Online Free (2013) Movie : If you’re lucky, Side Effects won’t be permanent. For half of the movie, it is a persuasive indictment of the pharmaceutical industry and its crass behavior toward its patients; for the other half, it is a three-cornered mystery/thriller, with double crosses and framings galore. It is fair to say that the movie is adequate during each of its disparate parts, but overall it’s a convoluted story that immerses itself in faux intrigue and wraps itself up so neatly that you can practically see the bow on it. Emily (Rooney Mara) is a depressive; her husband Martin (Channing Tatum) has just returned from a stint in prison for insider trading, but she feels anxious and can’t sleep. ( Watch Side Effects Online ) She visits psychiatrist Jonathan Banks (Jude Law), who prescribes a brand-new drug to help her out when the better-known brands (Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, etc.) don’t seem to break Emily from her ennui. But the drug, as you might have guessed so expertly, does have its side effects. It turns out – not a spoiler – that Emily has begun to sleepwalk. Well, more than sleepwalk, she does things in her sleep, like cook breakfast and set the table, all in the middle of the night and not remembering a thing the next day. Tragedy strikes while Emily sleeps. Is she the culprit, or is the drug to blame?

Dr. Banks has bills to pay, though, what with his wife losing her high-powered job. So he’s working longer hours and taking on more work, including participation in this study. When the tragedy that strikes comes back to haunt him as well as Emily, the movie takes a turn – it manages to turn Banks from being just an overextended shmoe into a manipulative drug dealer who uses his patients as experiments. Up until this point, we don’t know whether Banks is actually innocent.

Naturally, his reputation (and marriage) in ruins, Banks works to clear his name. This is actually easier than it is in most movies of this ilk, because he’s not in prison or anything. He just needs to piece together clues. One of those clues is Emily’s last doctor, Victoria Siebert (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who is helpful but guarded. She relates that Emily left her care in Connecticut when Emily’s husband got a job on Wall Street, which ultimately led Emily to see Dr. Banks.
Watch Side Effects Online Free (2013) Movie : The second half of the movie deals with Banks’ efforts to find things out. Racing against time and struggling to believe various stories, he is now in full-on victim mode as presented to the viewer. It’s not an unusual role; in fact, it’s sort of a trope, the innocent trying to prove themselves. We’re now sold on his innocence, and we as the audience just want to know what’s happened. I mentioned before that the movie ends rather neatly. Too neatly for my tastes, although it’s not as if the explanations were implausible. But there’s nothing wrong with some loose ends, some ambiguity, and this film – the 50th and final (maybe?) to be directed by Steven Soderbergh – leaves nothing ambiguous behind. ( Watch Side Effects Online ) We know, in full, the motives and fates of each character. Is this a good thing? Many won’t be bothered by it, but for me I just prefer to have some questions left unanswered. Law is adequate, although it feels like he’s just stepping in for Tom Cruise when Cruise did all of those “framed man on the run” movies, like The Firm. Zeta-Jones is icy and opaque, two beneficial traits for her character. Mara, of course, steals the show, simply because of this: up until the last moments of the movie, we don’t know whether anything about Emily is true. Instead of Law being the victim/accused, Mara’s character slips quietly into that very role. In Emily, Mara brings the ambiguity the film needs – it’s just too bad that ambiguity did not spread to the rest of the film. Shame; that would be a nice side effect indeed.
