this movie overall was a great movie,, but there is story line I feel like no one really caught but I could just be going crazy. spoilers start here.
what I really believe the story actually is is that the wife faked the whole thing. I believe she drugged her husband, and put make up on to appear like she'd been beaten. she took his ring and put some on his hands. in the beginning, look how ready she was to come back home. her husband said he couldn't find his ring, and she had it the whole time. look how willing she was to let him come back for intensive chores like remodeling her house and landscaping the yard. she stated in the middle of the movie that he will just have to make it up to her every day for the rest of their lives. She wanted a relationship where she was pampered and treated like a queen. she wanted to go to a restaurant that all their friends went to so she could gain that much more power over the situation. it's ironic that the brother hired someone to kill his brother in law when it was his sisters faking. I thought it was very strange how willing, how passive the husband was. in the end when the husband was killed, it looked as if she was remorseful also because she finally had what she wanted from her marriage. this makes more sense to me than simply her husband actually beating her and the story going from there. does anyone else feel this way ?
