Michael Ealy plays a sports agent, who goes to a bachelor party in Las Vegas and ends up cheating on his wife with another woman (Hilary Swank). Needless to say, this brief affair comes back to threaten everything in his life. Ealy is earnest and gets lots of screen time to grimace in agony, while Swank clearly loves playing a psycho. This starts out looking like a marriage drama, but once bad things start happening it ramps up the tension. Even when things seem hopeless, the plot twists again and again. There’s more anxiety than suspense and the overbearing soundtrack makes intrusive attempts to ramp things up. Still, the fatal are played out with deadly disclosures to keep the audience guessing.
