Lovely essay, as always..couple of points..she doesn't know..then she knows..and plots to screw him over with the leak to the prosecutor - as you point out ethical violations all the way around. If she's such a qualified professional, she lives with a psychopath for 13 years without even a hint? Either he's really good at suppressing natural instincts or she really is distracted. Then there's the dad giving him half a mil..what was that all about? A loose end? The writing was sloppy but did anyone care with the wardrobes and bed hijinks? Ahh..no excuse. A better plot would have been a triangle with the father, the husband and Elena..it would have made the loan (hush money), the picture of Nicole (a gift for daddy) and the motivation for murder (if I can't have you, nobody can..either man would do).
Uh, if you want to see Donald Sutherland sexy, watch the terrific "Don't Look Now" which came out in the 1970s. With Julie Christie.. and features a hot sexy scenE in the very beginning... a great thriller to boot! And mostly filmed in Venice, Italy... what else do you need??

That would make too much sense. The plot was a hot mess but it was addictive nonetheless.
