| Elevator Pitch |
A former FBI officer returns to Los Angeles to tell his former colleagues that he has found the identity of a man who murdered the daughter of one thirteen years earlier. The mother, now a senior investigator and the other now the DA, and for whom the FBI man has a flame burning, struggle with the new information as we are flashed back to the original event. |
| Content |
Off centre view of a murder, lots of staring into the middle distance as the actors attempt to communicate pain and distress. |
| A View |
The Argentinian film won prizes, this one nothing but a bit of sympathy for the actors, particularly Julia Roberts who has shed her glamourous image for the role. When this was written – 2016 – you would have to pay to watch this. Probably best to give it a miss. |
