The Square (2009)

Australian neo-noir about a married guy who's having an affair with the married hottie across the way. She finds a bag full of money that her husband has hidden in their attic and devises a plan to run off blah, blah, blah. It's yet another variation of "Double Indemnity". And every time some other young filmmaker wants to make their "Double Indemnity" or "Blood Simple" it gets more tired and boring. We've all seen this before: femme fatale, boorish husband, blackmailers popping up here and there, and some chump who gets the shaft all because he pointed his dick in the wrong direction. It proves what I've said, that heterosexuality just doesn't work.
