Set in Bangkok, Thailand, this absurd psychodrama revolves around legally blind Gina (Blake Lively) and her husband James (Jason Clarke). After visiting an ophthalmologist (Danny Huston), Gina undergoes a corneal transplant to restore sight to her right eye (her vision was damaged in an automobile accident many years earlier). As Gina begins to perceive the world around her more clearly, not only is their apartment a disappointment but so is her husband. The couple travel to Barcelona to visit Gina's sister and brother-in-law, who take them to a grotesquely garish peep show, which leads Gina to realize that certain aspects of her sexuality are going unfulfilled. Returning to Bangkok, James agrees to buy a house that can accommodate a child. And Gina's distress over not getting pregnant is relieved after an encounter with hunky Daniel (Wes Chatham), a fellow swimmer from the gym. Naturally, the fact that increasingly insecure James was told by another specialist that his sperm was not viable complicates matters—as do mysterious difficulties involving Gina's steroid eye drops. Director Marc Forster's film is a weak thriller that is further hobbled by Lively's limited acting range. Not recommended. (S. Granger)
