Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2010)

The film "The Secret in Their Eyes" focused on an unsolved murder case that's 25 years old, and that all this time it has still been on an investigator named Ben Esposito's interest. The movie takes place in the 1970's with the brutal rape and murder of a 23 year old wife, and the extraordinary love of her husband. Even though years have passed, Esposito wants to find answers to all the unanswered questions. As Esposito is working on this case and the past clarifies in flashbacks, he finds his lost love, Irene. Irene is now married and is a well known judge. Esposito on the other hand is alone. The movie doesn't focus a lot on Irene and Ben's love. This film has some graphic scenes. The director, Juan Jose Campanella, is one of Argentina's best-known filmmaker. He is famous for directing episodes like "House", "Law & Order Special Victims Unit" and "30 Rock." The director was smart enough to focus on a cold case theme because it contributed to a variety of emotional themes that range from love and obsession to justice and retribution. Throughout the film, the cinematography used combines with the feelings the characters are portraying. The cameras focus more on the character's faces and their eyes. By focusing on their faces and eyes, it gives the feeling of tension and mystery which contribute to his theme. This helps the characters connect with the audience. By connecting with the audience the movie leaves a unique mark in their lives.
