Julia Roberts knocks it out of the park
14 February 2016
It took me a long time to get up the interest to watch The Secret in Their Eyes.I just figured it wouldn't be any good.But I also didn't realize has this all star cast.When i found out Julia Roberts,Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor were in it,I decided to watch it.I started out hesitating to believe it would be any good.It took me five minutes to get hooked.

Julia Roberts outright stunned me with her performance.I've always liked her but i've never seen her this intense.She devoured her character and spit it out with audacity.I felt for her every step of they way,feeling every emotion,understanding every nuance of her multi dimensional real world personality.

Nicole Kidman is as beautiful as ever,although I have always preferred Julia Roberts unique features.Kidman captivates with her solid yet somehow fragmented personality.she seemed not whole...some fire inside that died long ago.Its very clear why by the end.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is a favorite of mine anyways but his performance in this in my opinion puts him in the big leagues.

The ending is so awesome I will not ever forget it.I've never seen the original movie so i had no idea what to expect.I finished the movie with a feeling of great satisfaction. This is from someone who usually avoids cop movies .....if they all were this great id watch them more often.Best cop movie since Mystic River.
