Jul 2, 2004 · Roger Ebert July 02, 2004. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. A movie that begins with a pleasant morning in an ordinary marriage is never about mornings or marriages. As "The Clearing" opens, we meet Wayne and Eileen Hayes, long and apparently pleasantly married, in their elegant stone-walled mansion in a woodsy suburb.
When Wayne is kidnapped by an ordinary man, Arnold Mack (Willem Dafoe), and held for ransom in a remote forest, the couple's world is turned inside out. Eileen finds her home full of F.B.I. Agents and their lives under scrutiny.
