I think the ending was just.
"Poor" Michael Douglas (Steven) was trying to have his wife KILLED!
Emily's boyfriend was a sociopath - and he was going along with Steven's plan to have his girlfriend KILLED!
Yes, Emily was an adulterer - but last I checked, murder trumps adultery on the evil list. And she didn't come out of this unscathed, either. She went through a horrible attack where she was almost murdered in her own home, and will have to live with that the rest of her life, as well as the fact that she killed a man (in justifiable self-defense, but still). She lost her husband and her boyfriend in a short period of time, and has to face the fact that the two men she chose at different times for herself were both evil!
So the ending was a good one.
