Separate Lies

Despite a great cast containing Emily Blunt and Rupert Everett this film fails to ever take off. With these two conducting an affair and becoming involved in a hit and run leading to the death of her maids husband for Blunt the storyline contains a great deal of potential. Unfortunately it just never gets there. Her oh so politely English husband appears to just let everything happen and is the one pushing the lies to cover up the fact she was driving. She speaks of how she can't give up Everett yet we never see it, believe it or feel it. There are almost no scenes with the two together so it is almost as if they vanish completely when together. This film never aims very high and falls far to the wayside.
