Not really better

Better Living Through Chemistry (2014)

Written & directed by David Posamentier & Geoff Moore this film stars Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde and Michelle Monaghan. A downtrodden pharmacist finally snaps and begins a drug fuelled affair with a local trophy wife.

There are a lot of places this film could go but unfortunately the script never seems to have fully realised the characters so their actions are never convincing. What we are left with was a bit of a disappointment as there is some potential for a Breaking Bad lite style story here. At times it seemed like both Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde were miscast as well.


2/5
