I thought Jake's wife was about to shoot or stab him


In the scene near the end when Jake's wife walks in the room and tells him she knows he's defending Carl Lee because if someone raped their daughter he'd react the same way. Well I honestly thought she was about to shoot or stab him. The way she spoke, the way she walked towards him, the way she looked at him, the way he looked at her, the background music, it was just a really poorly directed scene.

I thought the same!!
I had the feeling she wanted to tell him that he is sick in his head or sth like that.
I gues we were supposed to think that.

Jake was almost about to cheat on her with Sandra Bullock but in the end everything went on right.

I thought the same thing! Ashley Judd is creepy sometimes.

What bothered me is the fact they didn't see eachother for a while, and after all that sh!t I expected him just to run towards her and hug her tight. They weren't separated nor mad at eachother. But it also seemed weird they didn't speak on the telephone either.
