Tobey Maguire plays a young married doctor whose life seems to be continually spiraling downward, primarily because he keeps making poor choices. It's not that he's really a bad person; it's just that he seems to get himself trapped in desperate situations and, in order to save himself at the moment, he makes the wrong decision.
I'm not sure if Tobey's problems started with the raccoons that were destroying his lawn or his deciding to renovate his house without getting a building permit. Or, maybe it was the fact that he and his wife (Elizabeth Banks) had not had sex in many months.
Would you believe that any one of those seemingly relatively minor events could result in murder?
I don't want to be a spoiler, so I'm not going to detail the events that cause Tobey to sink further and further into his quagmire. Watching him do so is half the painful fun of this likable offbeat movie, written and directed by Jacob Aaron Estes.
THE DETAILS was filmed in Seattle and features a superb cast of supporting players that includes Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta and Kerry Washington. Laura Linney, who plays Tobey's whacky and meddlesome neighbor, delivers the film's scene-stealing performance.
The Blu-Ray disc from Anchor Bay Entertainment include a both an alternate beginning and ending, both of which were best left on the cutting room floor.
