Okay, so I watched this because DirecTV was giving away a free preview before we would have to order it on VOD. And you know what? Every time DirecTV has done this, the movie has been HORRIBLE. Well... "A Dark Truth" hasn't changed that. I wouldn't even pay $1 to see this movie, it's that bad.
I didn't know who Damian Lee was before this movie; he's the writer & director. In fact, as I'm watching this movie, I'm thinking because the writing is so bad, and the direction horrendous too, it must be a new filmmaker on the scene. You know, someone who got lucky enough to attach the name actors in the film and raise the money.
After the movie was over, I look this guy up here on IMDb.... WTF?? He's written over 20 movies and directed over 20 movies!! Oh my God, this man is talent-challenged. I'm sorry, but after having written and directed that many movies, you can't be making crap like this. This isn't even a 'B' movie, it's a 'D' movie. Advice to Damian Lee: Start buying your scripts, stop writing them, please.
The acting from everyone is pretty bad too, thanks no doubt to the bad direction. You know who the best actor in this whole movie was? The guy who doesn't speak (nearly) one word till the end of the movie (!), Kevin Durand. He plays the hired assassin and it's a small role, but he treats the part like it's more than a paycheck. Everyone else is mediocre or wooden. It's like the director gave everyone Vicodin at the start of each day before the cameras rolled.
Horrible horrible movie, not worth the hour and 45 minutes of your time, EVEN if it's free.
