Weekend streaming: 'Side Effects' on Netflix

This weekend marks the first major film release of the fall, as David Fincher's Gone Girl is sure to pack theaters with fans of Gillian Flynn's novel anxious to see the twisty abduction mystery come to life on the big screen. If you'd rather wait for the crowds to die down, fire up Netflix and check out Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects. Sold as the story of a depressed housewife (Rooney Mara) whose psychiatrist (Jude Law) prescribes her a drug that may have severely altered her behavior, it's actually a deep and dark psychological thriller. Mara and Channing Tatum's glamorous-but-troubled husband and wife have more in common with Gone Girl's dysfunctional Amy and Nick Dunne than they'd probably like to admit, and the original screenplay from Contagion writer Scott Z. Burns has all the makings of a best-selling airport paperback.
