    Excruciating
    One of the most excruciatingly awful movies I have ever seen. It is saved by the unbelievable overacting of David Suchet, and the same from the actress who plays his wife. Most of the characters are one-dimensional caricatures, a fact that adds to the exaggerated plot and, again, the scenery-clawing performances. Suchet deserves an Oscar for excessive excess.
