Review of Where the Truth Lies (1999) by Lyola S — 25 Jun 2011

A very good looking film with a great cast...

The story builds throughout the film but come the end, it underwhelms a little which is a shame. That being said, it's always interesting and the bright and sunny locations make it a nice watch.

Where the film succeeds is in the strength of the cast. Watching Firth play a different morally dubious character makes for an intersting watch and Lohman is on pretty good form (although her character is a little under developed). Then we have Bacon. The guy puts in a really solid performance which shows just how underrated and chameleon like he is.

Overall, this is a really entertaining film which could have benefited from a stronger story....
