So I recently watched Secret in Their Eyes and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
A tight-knit team of rising investigators - Ray (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Jess (played by Julia Roberts), along with their supervisor Claire (played by Nicole Kidman) - is suddenly torn apart when they discover that Jess's teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered. Now, thirteen years later, after obsessively searching every day for the elusive killer, Ray finally uncovers a new lead that he's certain can permanently resolve the case, nail the vicious murderer, and bring long-desired closure to his team. No one is prepared, however, for the shocking, unspeakable secret that will reveal the enduring, destructive effects of personal vengeance on the human soul.
This is a really disappointing movie. From the very moment you see this cast you automatically think this film could be amazing and the plot of the is interesting enough to sink your teeth into and instead you get a film that's barely good enough for TV. The plot is interesting but the film fails to capitalize on it and it just puts the actors involved in tough situations to give believable performances. However the film has a talented cast that gives great performances and if the film itself was a little better then you might consider one of the leads for an Oscar. While she does give a good performance Nicole Kidman is vastly underused and her character could of been used more. The film however focuses on Chiwetel Ejiofor and Julia Roberts and they have great chemistry together, but they are just on screen too much together and the film begins to get repetitive and boring. The ending is also just a cheap way to end a film and all of the build up is for nothing and you get no ultimate payoff. Overall this film has a great cast with fantastic performances, but the film itself is boring and just rough moviegoing experience.I give Secret in Their Eyes a 2.5 out of 10.
