Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015) by Lukechristiansc — 27 Feb 2016

Billy Ray's "Secret In Their Eyes" has a predictable twist you see coming, but then there's another twist you don't see coming, look I haven't seen the original film that this is based on but it's very entertaining and good despite it's boring and I almost fell asleep while watching this it's still a solid-crime genre film with three excellent performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman and an entertaining screenplay written and directed by Billy Ray (Shattered Glass and Breach).

In 2002, two detectives Ray (played by Chiwetel Ejifor) and Jess (played by Julia Roberts) are in a private police unit led by the DNA. They rush to a crime scene where a girl is raped and murder. When Ray looks at the dead body he realizes it's actually Jess' daughter Carolyn (Zoe Graham).

The team falls apart due to grief. 13 years later, he is still on the case and he has found a lead and convinces DA to open the case. They find clues and is still unknown, and the secrets in the past unravel the chilling truth.

Meanwhile Jess still griefs, and decides to take it into her own hands to find the killer. 4.
