Plots(1)
A tight-knit team of rising investigators - Ray (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Jess (Julia Roberts) and their supervisor Claire (Nicole Kidman) - is torn apart when Jess’s teenage daughter is brutally and inexplicably murdered. After obsessively searching for the elusive killer every day for 13 years, Ray finally uncovers a new lead that he’s certain will resolve the case. No one is prepared, however, for the shocking secret that will reveal the enduring, destructive effects of personal vengeance on the human soul. (Universal Pictures UK)

With the unchewed lips of the Argentine original, my assessment might be lenient, but I didn't have any major issue with the story about passion that either continuously burns or, conversely, never gets the chance to fully ignite. The intertwining of time frames requires a certain level of attention; Chiwetel Ejiofor naturally brings both personal aspects of his character (the platonic relationship and the unresolved case) closer together, and some scenes have a proper impact through details (like removing rubber gloves in the container). Julia Roberts is without her makeup and has crazy bangs and her teeth in a cup at home, but I'm not sure if I saw it in those eyes...

A pretty good thriller, whose original I haven't seen yet, but if it's at least a bit better than this American remake, then I'd say it could be really good. The idea isn't bad, but the resolution can be guessed because it relies too much on the actors and not as much on the story. The acting is good but the actors make it a bit predictable.

This crime drama is cast as an all-star film, but the typology is somehow lacking. That’s too bad, because Julia, Nicole, and Alfred Molina are all very good actors. But this genre is not their ideal environment. Well, never mind, it'll be better next time.

Same bullshit as the original. More acceptable casting, but boring and annoying. Good for sleeping, though.
