Synopsis
Wicker Park (2004) is Paul McGuigan's romantic thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Matthew, a Chicago advertising executive, has nearly buried the memory of Lisa — the woman who vanished from his life without a word two years ago. On the eve of a business trip to China, he catches a glimpse of her leaving a restaurant, and the whole past comes crashing back.
He drops everything to find her. A voice across a dining room, a forgotten note, a stranger's apartment — every clue pulls him deeper, and he never suspects that someone close by has been steering the whole thing. Told in splintered flashbacks, the story slowly reveals a force more corrosive than love behind the coincidences: obsessive jealousy.
A loose remake of the French film L'Appartement (1996), it's built like a rewind puzzle, with near-misses that land at the last possible second. Josh Hartnett, Rose Byrne, Diane Kruger and Matthew Lillard headline, though it's Byrne's character who quietly walks off with the movie. It suits viewers who like dark romantic mysteries where the audience knows just a bit more than the lead. Stream Wicker Park (2004) online on iFILM.
