Secret In Their Eyes

A tight-knit team of rising investigators – Ray and Jess, along with their supervisor Claire – is suddenly torn apart when they discover that Jess’s teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered. Now, thirteen years later, after obsessively searching every day for the elusive killer, Ray finally uncovers a new lead that he’s certain can permanently resolve the case, nail the vicious murderer, and bring long-desired closure to his team. No one is prepared, however, for the shocking, unspeakable secret that will reveal the enduring, destructive effects of personal vengeance on the human soul. Interweaving past and present, this deeply layered mystery explores the murky boundaries between justice and revenge, and asks the question: how far would you go to right an unfathomable wrong?

This was a pretty good watch.  The acting was powerful and the back and forth storytelling between past and present kept it fresh.  Even doing that couldn't prevent this from feeling like a long television episode of a procedural.  This was basically a CSI or Criminal Minds extended story arc with big name actors.  It touched on all the emotions that one would feel if in a similar situation very well and the pacing was very good too.

I liked this movie but I also like those types of procedural tv shows.  If you are not into those, you probably shouldn't bother checking this one out.
