TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Not until the last 5 minutes or so do we see why really happened, well really what the story was about. I saw a few of the things early on, but not tied in until the end. As a few people said, 2 different stories with only 1 character in common. Don't watch

Scotty (Keanu Reeves) is investigating the murder of his police partner Joey. As the investigation goes on Joey becomes dirtier. His wife (Mira Sorvino) proclaims, "Joey was no choir boy." Meanwhile Isabel (Ana de Armas) who is connected to one of the suspects is having visions. Her husband is in Iraq as she says the rosary daily for him. As time goes on, the over clued mystery open up.Keanu Reeves played a very bland character. They could have hired Christian Slater to do the part and saved some money. He was snooze-fest boring and not well developed. Isabel was an interesting up lifting person, eerily saintly in her actions helping the poor and children.This is a crime drama you can wait to see.Guide: F-bomb. No nudity.

Just on a technical level i'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. The two story lines move at a snail's pace and don't have much depth. The movie plot can be summed up in one long sentence. The acting is pretty spotty apart from the lead actress who does a decent job. The script is pretty robotic sounding and Keanu Reeves delivers his usual robotic performance which he does so well and it fits the character that it's actually OK. The movie has it's moments, uses music effectively at times and does portray life as not always being neat and packaged like a lot of Hollywood movies mistakenly do and lose their interest by being artificially black and white. I lower the score from a 6.5 to a 4 though because the movie's underlying message is pretty bad.It seems to excuse murder as being OK or even good. Murder isn't the correct response to being upset by something. Even if that something is a horrible experience. You're not a hero when you do worse things than the villains do. Sorry. Basically don't waste your time on this.

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've never seen a movie with so many plot holes. When someone dies in the movie, you don't know about it until a character mentions it, that's only one instance of a plot hole. After watching the entire movie, the movie also basically tells you the entire movie was pointless except for the end, which pointed back to the false beginning. It is a slap in the face for anyone who watched the movie, it makes the entire movie seem pointless. The protagonist also hallucinates the whole movie, and you can't tell what was really happening or fake. I would urge you to not watch this movie, you will be gravely disappointed and confused.
