Scott,

Thanks for the review. This caught my attention:

<"Did you know my father has been cheating on my mother for 20 years?" she asks Banek. He says no, and then sheepishly adds, "Well, I didn't know it was for 20 years." Her mother knew all along, his wife says, "but she thought it would be unethical to leave a man for cheating on his marriage, after she has an enjoyed an expensive lifestyle that depends on a man who makes his money by cheating at work." She looks across the table at her husband. "I could have married an honest man," she tells him. She did not, choosing instead a man who would go right to the edge to make money. You don't work on Wall Street if you're not prepared to do that, she says.>

Why would the mother consider it "ethical" by staying in a deceitful marriage simply because she married her husband for the lifestyle? Is that ethics or selling out?

By the way, it sounds like an interesting study of the dark side of human nature. I think Samuel L. Jackson is one of the more provocative/gripping actors of this era. Not a big Affleck fan.
