Justin = Husband of the Year


Wow, so absolutely no suspicion of foul play despite the following:

1. Spare key went missing
2. Followed by multiple acts of tampering/property damage occurring within their unit while they're out that wife denies being responsible for
3. Prior to charade of civility, downstairs neighbors made it abundantly clear that they are unstable psychos who have a serious ax to grind
4. Mom drinking milk left outside for anyone to tamper with, followed by baby being diagnosed with issue caused by breast feeding
5. Car alarm repeatedly blaring in the night right outside their building
6. Wife insists neighbors, who husband already knows from first hand knowledge are obsessed with having a child of their own, have been taking creepy photos of their baby
7. Husband called away for work issue that turned out to be a phony call altogether during which time wife ostensibly killed herself and threw baby in river
8. No body for baby, just a stroller left by river

So, none of this is enough to pause for a moment and consider gee maybe my wife was telling the truth the whole time and the people living downstairs who I already know are nut jobs are behind all this?

One would also think that his wife's autopsy revealed that she had been drugged and police divers would not recover a baby's body from the river, thus launching international manhunt . . .

yup, all of that was so friggin annoying.

yes a little.
but the drugs in her body would have shown upbas an overdose... she was supposed to have overdosed in the bath, not drowned herself.
the other points, pretty much on point... no parents in their right minds would have stayed in that house after what initially happened.... even less so when the people downstairs move back in...
but that said, if u can suspend disbelief for that, then the ending twist is worth it...
much better movie than most of the dross hollywood churns out :)
