After the death of a cousin, Philip (Sam Claflin)believes his cousin's wife was responsible due to incriminating mail he had been receiving. The wife, Rachel (Rachel Weisz) comes to meet Philip, at his estate, for various reasons. As could be expected, the pair fall in love, and Philip, mesmerised by Rachel's beauty, blows his inheritance in attempting to win her over. But, as the movie continues, Philip begins to grow ill and his suspicions turn to Rachel.
The movie is an interesting concept, one which is successful in keeping the viewer interested and engaged... but only for so long. The movie seems to drag on, in some parts, being slow and tedious. The movie felt a little longer then what it actually is, but the performance by Sam Claflin was perfect as a crazed love-obsessed male. Some scenes also seem repetitive, like: "We've already heard it, now move on". Overall, though, the movie is an unregrettable watch, and an interesting twist on a romance story.
