This is a solid noir-tinged thriller with genuine tension baked into its premise—a troubled guy and a bored rich wife plotting murder is pulp gold. Skip it only if you're exhausted by infidelity thrillers, but if you want a taut mystery with some real chemistry and moral ambiguity, this is worth your night.

Plot

After spending time in prison following an assault charge, Connor Bates now works in a library and spends his free time running, swimming, and trying to piece his world back together. When he meets Marilyn Chambers, the wife of a wealthy businessman, they collide into an intense physical and emotional relationship that quickly escalates into idle talk about her husband’s murder.
