"Secret
in Their Eyes" stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman
in this ill conceived story written and directed by Billy Ray.
A murder that took place 13 years ago has the viewing audience bouncing
back and forth from scenes in the present to scenes which took place at
the time of the crime. The only possible way to distinguish between the
two time periods are the hairstyles of Ms. Kidman and Ms. Roberts and
the buttoned and unbuttoned collar of Mr. Ejiofor. This is a task that
the most attentive and dedicated viewer will find hard to accomplish
Watching the film is an effort and, when you add to that, a concocted
plot in a film poorly written, edited and directed, it becomes obvious
that quality players are being asked to perform in a less than adequate
vehicle which, for this viewer, gets and deserves only 1 and ½ stars.
