Eyes, Burning

Rating: 6/10 (17 October 2015)

Whilst I can appreciate a good film, The Secret In Their Eyes just feels too ambitious and pretentious, but for what it's worth, does come out with a decent standing. However, this slow burning mystery drama just doesn't engage all the often to make you want to care about any of the characters and any of the events. Whilst at a first glance this film does look different, it ultimately is nothing more then your standard drama detective film which falls flat after two hours.
The Secret In Their Eyes just doesn't deliver often enough. It does have some mystery involved, but just feels too melodramatic that things become boring and slow. Unfortunately, this film just didn't feel Oscar worthy in my opinion.
