Crap - I thought this was a film from 2010, but I mis-remembered. I didn't check. I'm not sure I would have watched if I'd realized, but I'm glad I did. This is well done, with great acting. Michael Douglas plays a guy who has literally thrown away his whole life - business and personal - for a ridiculous reason. If you want to watch the effects of really bad decisions, this one is a heat-seeking missile directed at you. It is unflinching and sometimes embarrassing to watch, and there is no real ending. The film ends, but there is not a wrap-up type of ending. That's cool. The cast is great; all the women are interesting characters, and Jesse Eisenberg turns in a good performance.
