Joanna (Keira Knightley) is a writer married to commercial real estate agent Michael Reed (Sam Worthington). She meets his co-worker Laura Nunez (Eva Mendes) at a party and suspects they had an affair during their L.A. business trip. He leaves for Philadelphia with Laura while she encounters her ex Alex Mann (Guillaume Canet). Sandra (Stephanie Romanov) and Truman (Griffin Dunne) are his friends.
Sam Worthington is not a compelling actor to me. I never bought a ticket on the Worthington express. I don't find any buy-in with his relationship with Knightley. I'm not invested in them and their struggles hold no tension. It's a lot of talk. It teases a reckoning but it never delivers. It's a truncated movie about a relationship that I'm not sure I care about in the first place.
