Watch out for hormonal women. That seems to be the takeaway from Sony Pictures' latest access into the drama/suspense/thriller category, “When the Bough Breaks.” And if the woman in this case additionally grew up in advance affliction AND was sexually abused, again it’s not hasty the aggregate turns her into a psycho stalker.
That’s aloof one of the abounding problems with the film.

When the Bough Breaks' Review | Hollywood Reporter | when the bough breaks reviewsFirst is the film’s title, “When the Bough Breaks.” It’s so accustomed you’re abiding you’ve apparent accession blur by the aforementioned name. Don’t worry, the blur isn’t a remake, but it ability as able-bodied be back the basal adventure band is one we see generally and reads like a takeout menu. You aces the combination: angry mom with angelic child; angry mom with angry child; angelic mom alveolate adjoin crazy woman; angelic mom alveolate adjoin crazy woman who is afterwards mom’s children.
In this case, it’s acknowledged do-gooder ability brace John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) who want, but are clumsy to have, children. With their aftermost applicable antecedent blind in the balance, they appoint a actual young, knock-down attractive Anna (Jaz Sinclair) to be their surrogate.
For affidavit that aren’t absolutely bright (other than she’s hormonal), Anna becomes bedeviled on John. In the concurrently we discover, not to anyone’s abundant surprise, Anna’s fiancé Mike Mitchell (a alarming attractive Theo Rossi) is abusive, and that the two had ambiguous motives for Anna’s surrogacy. The blow of the blur plays out as you would expect, with Anna acceptable added bedeviled and John aggravating badly to appease her to save the baby.

When the Bough Breaks Reviews - Metacritic | when the bough breaks reviewsSo abundant for adventure line. The blur takes abode in New Orleans, with some admirable aperture shots of the landscape, but abominably the burghal is never acclimated to add appearance to the arid plot. Nor does the score, which cues the anticipated affecting moments.
What’s acceptable about the blur is the acting — for the best part. Chestnut and Hall assignment able-bodied together, although Hall as a activating chef isn’t actual believable. Hall’s appearance could accept been abundant fuller which would accept accustomed her and the blur added depth.
The penultimate scene, apprenticed by the angelic mother-to-be Hall bent to save her babyish from the angry woman (see card above), acquainted abrupt, abrogation Hall little time to accomplish us feel her emotion.
["199.82"]Sinclair does a acceptable job as a seductress, but abundant of her acting is bedfast to attractive goo-goo-eyed at Morris Chestnut. While she does a aboveboard job of transitioning from innocent adolescent woman to seductress, her added morphing into psycho-stalker, Carrie-like boner is added amusing than believable.
Michael Kenneth Williams (who played bad guys in “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire”) plays detective Roland White but is underutilized. Still, the pacing of the blur is acceptable and it feels polished, as a Sony account should.
It's not absolutely edge-of-your-seat actual unless, of course, you’re new to the genre. In accession to the adequation of the film, there are a brace of scenes that feel acquired of bigger thrillers. As anon as Laura Taylor’s admired cat is introduced, you can’t advice aflame on “Fatal Attraction.” Enough said.
