Serial adultery leads to murder in this overheated psychological drama from Director Adrian Lyne. Under an outwardly calm manner, a wealthy tech whiz (Ben Affleck) fumes with rage at his wife’s (Ana de Armas) infidelities. But is he responsible for the disappearance of one of her lovers? An interesting central relationship and some good acting are counterbalanced by tawdry bedroom scenes in an edgy adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel that many will find offensive. Criminal violence with brief gore, strong sexual content, including graphic marital lovemaking, adulterous and aberrant acts and nudity, drug use, about a half-dozen profanities, a couple of milder oaths, pervasive rough and some crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is L — limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association rating is R — restricted.
