Billy Ray’s (Breach, Shattered Glass) Secret In Their Eyes is a movie with a trailer that makes it look amazing. With an all-star cast that includes two Academy Award-winning actresses, a mystery/suspense/drama, and the murder of a teenage girl with close ties to the main character’s plot, this movie was sure to be a bona fide hit. Not so fast. As the mixed reviews started rolling in, you had to wonder what was holding this movie back from being great. There were enough negative reviews that would have saved me from seeing this movie, or at least had me wait for a home viewing if I weren’t a person obsessed with seeing as many movies as possible in the theater. It turns out I could have easily waited for or skipped it entirely. While entertaining, it’s not a movie that needs to be seen. When all is said and done, I can’t see this landing as even one of the 25 best movies I’ve seen this year. It wasn’t the most disappointing movie I saw this year because I had tempered my expectations, and it still held my interest for a brief moment. However, it was very uneven, pretty far-fetched, and didn’t have an audience for it.
