This one is close to out-of-the-ball park. At first you think this film is just what the NRA has been waiting for. Nearly every SSRI in the book was mentioned and Rooney settled on "Ablixa" that Jude Law prescribed to ease her near suicidal depression. Soon the sleep walking began and Channing Tatum (recently returned from prison)walks into the full consequences of her "craziness". Law, in desperation, contacts her old shrink, Zeta-Jones, to compare notes and the story of SSRI's Gone Wild suddenly begins to twist and turn.This is a great drama acted superbly by all the mains and supports. Great script and Rooney never looked better (sans tattoo). Shouldn't be missed.
