Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015) by Richard F — 07 Dec 2015
This movie could not decide on what it wanted to be. What could have been a great story of friendship, a mother and detective's search for a killer, or even a sympathetic narrative on life since 9/11 ended up falling short.
It dragged at times and what little secret they left for the end did not make up for its shortcomings. Julia Roberts makeup grew older as life's hardships wore on her, but I found this comparable to the movie as well: the more it passed the more of a shallow dried out husk it became.
What is sad, is it could have been so much more.
