Where The Truth Lies (DVD, 2006)

Well-acted film that showcases the acting talents of Colin Firth & Kevin Bacon. Even though Father Time has caught up with both of these men, they remain very handsome, & sexy, & they both are amazing actors, in their own right. I am very confident that they will both be around for a long time to come, & will have an even larger following than they currently enjoy.

This was, indeed, a "whodunnit-type mystery, with a surprise ending, which makes a film worth watching. I mean, who doesn't hate a predictable story?
I also viewed it as a love story, that ended in tragedy. It made me think, more than once, "Oh, dear, if only," & I felt great sadness, for two of the characters involved. I want to read the book, now, & I hope that Rupert Holmes will write...or has written...more mysteries for us.

Look closely, & you'll recognize the actress who played the "Thai" girl, in "Bridget Jones: the Edge of Reason," who befriends Bridget, in jail, & who barters for her red bra.

It was good to see Maury Chaykin, in the role of Sally, the Mafioso-type nightclub owner. You'll remember him from "Mouse Hunt," & "Dances With Wolves."
This talented character actor should have more roles, or even be offered a role in a TV series.

Back to the film: NOT for family viewing, to be sure!! NOT for judgemental-type people, either, nor for the squeamish. It seems to be quite a realistic, believable story, & is worth adding to your DVD collection.

This movie is underrated & in fact, has no rating whatsoever which is sad because...I really liked it. Set back in the 60's during the drug culture among the jet-set of Hollywood where drugs, sex & the Mafia reigned supreme. Since it comes from my time period, I especially liked the director's point-of-view. This is a story about 2 men who were in the entertainment business as partners. They put on a Labor Day Telethon for Polio. It is not exactly like Jerry Lewis putting on a telethon. The movie pulls you back & forth from present day to the past gracefully. You will have to pay attention. There are some twists & turns to it. There is a plot. I would recommend it for those that want to think, as it has a good story.

This movie was very interesting and bizarre too. It has a dark side to it and the characters are really bad people. They lie and hide the truth. A young woman is found dead in the 1950's in the hotel room where Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth are staying. Now, it's 1972, and a young writer is investigating the death for a story. What she doesn't know is she is about to open a big can of messy worms. The story is a little murky and confusing. There are lots of flashbacks but everything is revealed in the end. I recommend this movie but it's for adults only. There are lots of adult situations, drug references, and nudity in this film.

Another film my sister sent me. Great story, excellent acting, but the girl on girl and boy on boy sex is more than I want to see. After all I do have an imagination. But the premesis of the story was excellent. Good writing begets good films, even if the sex-o-inuendo is a bit much. Max Rainet.

Masterfully done, as it will keep your full attention from beginning to end.
Ebert & Roper gave it "TWO THUMBS UP!".
