Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015) by Chris F — 26 Mar 2016

Secret in Their Eyes is an entertaining mystery that is disappointing when you consider the caliber of the cast. I've never seen the original foreign film, so I can't compare it to that. Julia Roberts shines as a woman who suffered the loss of her daughter.

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Nicole Kidman are also good in their respective roles. The plot is interesting and carried the story. The film is presented in two storylines, which I disliked. Many times I was confused with the timeline of where the scene was taking place.

The plot twist towards the end are not that realistic, but still shocking and effective. Overall, this is an enjoyable movie that isn't as good as it should've been.
