Ridiculous escape fantasy with plot holes


Ana is a pretty woman but is miscast here. Affleck phoned it in.
Premise of an openly promiscuous mother and wife to a rich husband who retires early made less sense.

Is Ana a sex maniac? Or affleck is? She goes around banging dudes nonstop and making out openly in front of her husband and guests and child in their own home in front of several guests.


Then her first in movie lover dies mysteriously and it’s insinuated her earlier lover (at least one) also died mysteriously. But she soon beds a couple more who also die mysteriously having drowned and fallen off a ravine.

And yet the cops are completely missing. FBI would be investigating if one family is connected to so many mystery deaths that all appear natural on the surface.


No one sees affect drown the guy who isn’t dead but then accidentally is dropped and dies hitting his head on pool side. All very bizarre.

The neighbor who is suspicious also dies driving off a ravine, same one, in a car crash.

Cops can easily do location history and see affleck cell phone was there along with so many other things like cameras on street catching him leading that way.

While the premise is very strange of a guy who is rich allowing his hot wife to bang other guys openly as he murders them and keeps their wallets, it probably is some fantasy for some guys wanting their wives to be used that way. Seems like affleck probably is the psycho as no guy would ever allow this in reality.
And she is some bizarro sex depraved maniac? She even blows him driving high speed and gets off of that as their lives are in danger.

The whole movie is bizarre and unnatural. I guess that’s why it is just a movie.

I’d rate this a 5.5/10. Avg effort for entertainment. It initially entertained me but then became bizarre. I expected a twist like she is killing them and he’s protecting her or she’s some schizo or psycho type or even twin or triplet Ana would have made more sense.
