No depth below the surface
OK, so we know that Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore's characters need some more pizzazz in their marriage. I understand that the mind can bring out one's insecurities, one's passions, and one's imagination. HOWEVER, if a filmmaker is going to add some psycho pathology to the story, can he/she please not insult the viewer's intelligence and please provide some character depth to the "villain"? The director is counting on the audience's love of erotic allusions, and love for the 2 lead actors, but the character development was basically nonexistent, especially of Chloe. Is that intentional? Even if so, then we need to know more about what makes the husband and wife's relationship so troubled. This was one weird movie that tried too hard to be one part psychological study, other part erotica, and both laid flat.
