Preview: The Other Man (2009)

Synopsis:

A husband suspects his wife is having an affair on him and he sets out to discover the identity of the man who has interjected himself into their lives.

• Poster: B

Review:

Mixing two scenes from the film with a deft hand, two men wrestle figuratively and literally over the woman with whom they are both in love.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Although there's something a bit forced in the trailer, there's no denying that Liam Neeson, Laura Linney and Antonio Banderas are working hard to give the film importance.

Oscar Prospects:

It seems far more like one of those Oscar-baity films that gets ignored by critics and ultimately disappears from the race within a month. But, if critics embrace the film, it could earn a couple of nominations, the most likely of which being in the acting categories.

Release Date:
