"There's more than one way to take a man's life..." and THE WORDS couldn't be truer. For Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper), he's achieved his every goal: a loving wife, critical success and a best-selling novel. The only problem is: he didn't write it. Now, as his conscience starts to haunt him and his past wrongs are revealed, it's difficult to tell fact from fiction. Zoe Saldana, Jeremy Irons, Olivia Wilde, Ben Barnes and Dennis Quaid star in this romantic drama that keeps you guessing until the very end.

This drama has its moments. It's written and acted well enough that I didn't fall asleep. When Jeremy irons appears the film gets a few moments to breathe and gather steam but it felt flat after that. It's a touching take on writing with inspiration at your back, struggling to be the person you want to be... And the mistakes we make trying to get there.

Enjoyed this one. Watched in theatre. Writing is more than adequate, screen play decent although the female love interest of the protagonist is a bit weak and could have shown more passion.

Wonderfully this movie was thought out. I hope to see more movies like this. They were all great actors and thumbs up to the directors who made this movie watchable.
