Actor Joel Edgerton («Warrior,» «Exodus,» «The Great Gatsby») wrote, directed and stars in the film, which is clearly reminiscent of
similar thrillers like «Fear,» «
Fatal Attraction» and even Michael Haneke's fantastic «Caché,» but gleefully twisted enough to distance itself from the pack.
Billing itself as «In The Suspenseful Style Of
Fatal Attraction And Unfaithful,» Asunder is every bit the rushed, formula production moldering on a shelf somewhere until either one of its stars hits it big (see: Ordinary Decent Criminal and Colin Farrell) or, as in this case, a higher - profile film with a
similar theme makes an impact, thus giving the folks in marketing a hook.
