Good marriage, bad adaptation

A Good Marriage (2014)

Directed by Peter Askin this film based on the novel of the same name stars Joan Allen, Anthony LaPagila and Kriesten Connolly. A middle aged woman finds out that her husband is a serial killer but decides not to call the police despite having the perfect opportunity.

I found it really hard to accept the premise of the film, that a person would rather live with a serial killer than call the police. It does not help that the film falls completely flat and fails to build any tension either. Both the main roles were weakly acted so in the end there is not much to recommend this film on which is unusual for a Stephen King adaptation.


2/5
