Barely mediocre. "The Other Man" is not merely disappointing; it is rather a travesty, as we are essentially watching three great actors and one great director flounder in a film that is simply bad in just about every aspect. All rights reserved. Privacy | The face we know as The Tall Man's once belonged to a normal 19th century man named Jebediah Morningside. It is no classic but it is definitely not a terrible film in my opinion. | Why would the spouse foot the bill for their spouse's lover to meet her, and show up to inform them that she/he had died? The scenes where the two men pay chess, and the dialog over the board are revealing, and the torment subtly played by Neeson, is masterful. Neeson, in particular, has to rumble through the movie behaving in a way consistent with the ending and comes off as far over the top in the process. | Rating: 2/5, September 25, 2009 For an enhanced browsing experience, get the IMDb app on your smartphone or tablet. I was at least fearing that the film would be really generic, and it's not that, but neither is it anything new that you've seen, ultimately being a been-there-done-that affair regarding an affair whose familiarity almost blands things up, as surely as atmosphere problems decidedly bland things up. Don't have an account? All 3 leads, Neeson, Antonio, and Linney are great in the film, they just needed a better script. Good small scale film from Richard Eyre that is more the cinematic equivalent of a meaty short story. Obsessed, Peter takes off for Milan where Ralph lives, locates him, and then strings him along with games of chess in Ralph's favorite cafe. It's a worthwhile exercise.

That is what you get from the trailer, however, the trailer is incredibly misleading, the story doesn't pan out like that. Lee and Mike are the hosting couple. Coming Soon. But I found out it was a miss for those negative reviewers who didn't get it. Unless you're a huge fan of one of these actors, skip it. Well, normal outside of being a mortician. But there is a pretty poor performance from Neeson's daughter in the film, I didn't care about her character at all and I felt her delivery didn't really work. There's another potential re-write. Nonetheless, while this isn't, in more than one way, an affair to remember, while it has your attention, it keeps you going, or at least kept me going, largely because its artistic value is actually too sharp to deny. Lots of people I talked with about the movie were lost and confused. As life usually is, there was poetic justice. Barely mediocre. There wasn't really any moral. (Though I will be honest and say that it is possible that I admire this more than I like it. Great cast, good premise, poor writing/editing/sequencing. How was Liam and the daughter both able to pick up her cellphone and listen to the message? And if he wishes to go and kill that guy, is it wise of him to ask his secretary book his flight? In a movie like this, of course, it seems completely normal for Ralph to spill every bit of the beans of his affair with Lisa to this stranger, only a few minutes after they've met. I guess the only reason I did was because I hoped it would get better, but it never did. Everyone seems as if they're going through the motions. You know he will never find that again. Neeson, in particular, has to rumble through the movie behaving in a way consistent with the ending and comes off as far over the top in the process. | Top Critics (17) It became even more so the first time The Tall Man displayed the ability to shape-shift. The story of a husband who suspects his wife of adultery, and sets out to track down the other man in her life. | Rating: 2.5/4, October 24, 2010 I thought from the trailer that I would be watching a thriller and it turned out to be a drama. Coming Soon, Regal loss and loneliness, Screenwriter-Playwright Charles Wood, Known for ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade,’ ‘Iris,’ Dies, Here’s Everything Coming to and Leaving Hulu in January. An above average thriller that deserves a bit more praise. It's Aslan against Puss in Boots in the ultimately computer-generated cat fight for the hand of Laura Linney, and I put it like that to try and make this film sound more exciting than it is, even on paper. It wasn't until some time around the hour mark that the film suddenly clicked with me and not only did I start to enjoy it, but I also realized that my fighting it had kind of lessened the experience since I had missed so man little bits that I will now have to go back and re-watch the film to fully get the full effect. 2.5/5 - Fair. She came off as heartless, self-indulgent and duplicitous. Please click the link below to receive your verification email. I found the movie honest and extremely well acted. I think there are 3 reasons some reviewers did not like this movie. The Tall Man definitely isn't human, despite his outward facade giving that initial impression. Sign up here. She had the chance to experiment and did so with the silly Ralph, a man whose life is purely on fantasy. Why would they jump on a plane, find that person, stalk them, ingratiate themselves into that person's life and want to know all the details about the affair? A one-stop shop for all things video games. Reminded me of another similar love triangle which Neeson-Banderas made a couple of years ago (am I mistaken?) Instead, The Tall Man returned.
