Every Breath You Take [Movie Review] |  The death of dear ones will affects you in a certain way and the movie explores the depth of the loss.

The movie start with Grace riding in a car with his son to a hockey tournament. They were sharing jokes inside the car before their car was hit by another vehicle. 

A few years later, the accident that claims his son's life put a strain on Grace's relationship with her psychiatrist husband, Dr Philip. Her stepdaughter, Lucy becomes a totally different person after that incident - from a top scorer student to being a rebellious teenager who jumps at any chance of misbehaving that leads her to being expelled from her prestigious boarding school. 

Dr. Philip's new technique in treating his patients was controversial but delivers great result. 

Dr Philip is treating Daphne, a patient who was suicidal but has managed to change her life and become a popular writer. Daphne has also mentioned to Dr Philip that she has left her abusive boyfriend and now leading a great life.

That was until one of her best friend and her support system died in an accident. Fearing that Daphne might become unstable again, Dr. Philip invites Daphne for more sessions with him. 

Later that night, when he was told that Daphne has committed suicide, Dr. Philip rushed to the scene and met Daphne's brother , James who was in town to visit her, all the way from the UK. 

Grace wants  to assist the distraught James through his sorrow times and offers her service to help sell Daphne's house. And the professional service evolves to something more intimate as her relationships with her husband were almost non-existence. 

Lucy falls in love at first sight when she saw James and when James seems to care for her a lot, more than her own father and her stepmother, Lucy sought comfort and more from James. 

Will Dr Philip allow James to interfere with his family's matter?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.0/ 5.0 The story premise was ok. The plot was quite predictable but it was a nice ride along the movie. 

Cast: 4.0/ 5.0 Everyone delivers - some might more than the other but still watchable. 

Will I watch it again: Not in the very near future.
