All's fair when love is war. In "The Roses," Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman star as a picture-perfect couple whose seemingly bulletproof marriage starts to combust in spectacular fashion. The dream team of Cumberbatch and Colman, their relationship going down in flames? Believe it, because it's one of the season’s juicier dark comedies out in heaters right now.
Director Jay Roach put together this intriguing remake of the 1989 film (based on the novel of the same name) "The War of the Roses," which starred Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. This modern retelling features supporting cast members like Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon and Allison Janney, all surrounding the couple who thinks they can fix their marriage, but who aren't quite sure it's going to happen for them.
