Where the Truth Lies (2005)

Great movie

[8/10 · 17 October 2005]

Just saw this movie last night.....

I have been reading reviews and posts about this movie for the last few weeks, and all I kept hearing was "wow it is very graphic", and "MPAA, and NC-17" blah blah blah.

So, last night I finally got the opportunity to form my own opinion. The one that was formed is, I love it. The acting is great, the story flows very well, back an forth, from the past to the present. I never felt too lost or confused. It all tied in by the end of the movie and wrapped up nicely.

I kept waiting for a big controversial scene??? And it never came. There was some explicit sex,but nothing outrageous. It only added to the story, and the general look and feel of the movie. It made the movie sexier, and more intriguing.

Bottom Line-See the movie, it is worth the watch.

Come on People

[24 November 2004]

I can't believe some of the reviews this movie is getting, and I'm speaking to the harshly negative reviewers. I mean C'mon; OK the acting was really bad at the beginning and the near end. But the movie looked good, and used cliché's that we are obviously not sick of. This film is enjoyable for people who like horror/psycho thriller movies. I was impressed to see it was made for 1.2 mil, and I can say that for that much it was far more worth my dollar to see a movie with an ambitious idea, then to see some of the 100 million dollar crap coming out. So if you are in the mood for a good thriller with a not so obvious ending, I definitely recommend it, you will laugh a little, get a little scared, and scratch your head at the end. If you are looking for the perfect movie, rent the Godfather or something.

7 out of 10 for me.
