Susan: Why are you so driven to write?
Edward: I guess it's a way of keeping things alive.
You know,saving things that will eventually die.
And if I write it down,then,it'll last forever.

Susan Morrow (Amy Adams) is a successful art gallery owner living with her handsome second husband.(Armie Hammer)But this is not the life she wanted with him.It's not really working for her.Then a manuscript of a novel written by her first husband ,Edward Sheffield ( Jake Gyllenhaal)arrives, which is dedicated to her.It tells the story of Tony,who has to meet with a tragic incident in West Texas.As she reads the novel,Sussan remembers her life with Edward and the dark truths from the past comes back to haunt her.

This is a movie where there is a story with in a story-a beautiful and brutal revenge story.There are two types of revenge -physical and psychological.The movie portrays both brilliantly.Everything is connected and both stories are weaved together beautifully.

Jake is brilliant as always,both as Edward and Tony.This guy,is so good at playing the tough roles.( As far as I remember Prince of Persia is the only movie where he actually smiled).It's just a treat to the eyes.Amy Adams is also good as the struggling Susan.Special mention to Michael Shannon who played the badass cop

The end is confusing at first,but brilliant once you understands it.
