The domestic thriller makes a futile and flaccid comeback with this Casey Affleck helmed stalker gawker. In what amounts to a really expensive Lifetime movie, Every Breath You Take is a paint-by-numbers melodrama that forgot how to count. Chris tries to find some faint glimmer of a silver lining in this borefest, and Dan spends most of the episode beating it like a pinata to see what pretentious claptrap pours out. This episode of Film Trace is at least five times as riveting as the movie. 

Join us as we trace the life of Every Breath You Take from conception (a script by the Third Man) to production (filmed in a West Elm catalog) to release (acquired a month before release) to reception (crash and burn)
