Dark Crimes

Thought I would give this a try but only made it about 20 minutes in when I realized it wasn't even worth $0.01 rental (wish that is what I had paid). Went back to cable and started watching The Evil Dead from `81 on HBO, first few minutes was more enjoyable than this worthless movie.

The movie isn’t bad... but it’s not particularly good either. The director took the filming ideology of ‘Show Don’t Tell’ way to far, to the point the audience is being told almost nothing, so what’s being shown end up not making any sense. Big thumbs up to Jim Carrey 👍, his performance is really good in my opinion, despite being a complete departure from his usual role. You almost can’t tell it’s him.

I enjoyed seeing Jim Carrey in a role that was not comedy. The story was intriguing and kept me interested till the end. With just enough plot twists to make you second guess yourself. There were a couple scenes with unnecessary nudity, but it was to be expected by the rating and description. The reviewers that are condemning the film must not have read the synopsis or they are just too young to watch a film with adult subject matter. Obviously I would not recommend this film for a family night movie with small children.
