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.
