Secret In Their Eyes-Film Review


Once again another excellent foreign film with an unsolved mystery. A retired criminal investigator is trying to write a novel about a case that has since been closed but unsolved. We see through flashbacks details of the case and the effects it has on everybody involved in the present time as well. I warn you the flashbacks come without any signal but if you pay attention you will have no problem figuring this out. If you're thinking is this movie as good as "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" I would have to say no. This is a different kind of animal here. There's nothing here as electric as Noomi Rapace but it's not trying to be. If you like these kind of movies where one central character is trying to learn through past clues where as the movie unfolds is plunged deeper into the abyss then this is another one of those movies. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you can definitely check this one out. Highly recommended.
