Irresistible (2006)
6/10
Lifted just above average by Susan Sarandon

This is a pretty routine thriller elevated by good performances by a strong cast. The film centres on a wife who believes that a young woman at her husbands work is trying to steal her life.

The main point of interest is whether you believe she is being victimised or whether it's all in her head. It's all pretty straightforward and the plot goes pretty much where you think it will.

With a weak cast this would have been a pretty lacklustre film but thankfully this isn't the case. Susan Sarandon is simply excellent as the confused wife and Sam Neill is as solid as ever. Emily Blunt also puts in a good performance as the object of Sarandons apparent paranoia.

Irresistible has a few nice touches and does build some tension towards the end even if the main twist is signposted a long way from the end. This isn't a film you will probably remember greatly but it is reasonably entertaining and worth at least one watch.
