The Painted Veil

Starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton.
Both play a married couple in Shangai, China. Watts marries him due to parental pressure and founds him boring and shielded, indulges in an affair. Upon finding out, he takes up a job in cholera ridden town and forced her to come with him.

Not sure what to make of this movie. I found the start promising though how the movie would proceed was quite obvious after half and hour. It's well done but there is no one scene or sequence in movie that makes you go waww...They could have portrayed the chorea problem in China better as well. The ending was certainly poor still not a bad watch and don't think one would regret watching it during or after the movie

6/10
