Alright so I finally watched the film closer. First of all, I love this film. The acting is awesome, you can cut the tension with a knife and the way the scenes are split up make the film more interesting even though its only focused on only two relationships. the beginning scene where Dan and Alice see eachother before she gets hit by a car gave me goosebumps. The song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Bob Crewe fir the scene perfectly and makes you so excited and kind of scared where the plot of this movie is going to go.
Its very hard to say who the main character of this film is considering every character has their own drama and scenes where they are the main character. but if i had to choose one it would have to be the character Larry played by Clive Owen. He starts out looking on a porn AIM sight trying to obviously find a hooker or a very slutty girl to be with, but thanks to Dan he finds Anna. They both end up dating for four months and soon get married. This is when anyone watching the film would start to think that Larry is starting to become a decent guy. But him becoming a decent man doesn't mean that hes become stupid. He still is suspicious when Anna is dressed after "taking a bath". When Anna leaves him for Dan he is seen as the underdog of the story but then he slowly starts to come back and mess with everyone which makes him seen as the main character. For instance when he sleeps with Anna just to get inside Dan's head and also sleeps with Alice and equally gets inside Dan's head again. This cause Dan to pretty much go insane with wonder as to what exactly happened with each girl and even cry in front of Larry. Larry ends up with Anna and has simply manipulated and played every other character in the film, therefor making him the main character.
