A great cast and a great idea off of which to base a film might give one a leg up on the competition. However, those elements, in and of themselves, don't guarantee a successful outcome. Such is the case with writer-director Billy Ray's Secret in their Eyes.
The new film is based on the Academy Award-winning El Secreto de Sus Ojos and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Dean Norris, Alfred Molina, and more. It is supposed to be a taut, suspenseful thriller that examines the horror of having a loved one murdered. Instead, it is an atmospheric but murky bore, one punctuated by good ideas that are undercut by a script that can't get out of its own way.
Secret in Their Eyes takes place in two time periods – 2002 and 2015. In the former, with the September 11 attacks still deeply affecting the country, the members of the L.A.-based Counter Terrorism Joint Task Force (CTJTF) are called in to look at a body found in a dumpster outside a mosque they are investigating. The body turns out to be that of Caroline Cobb, the daughter of Jess (Roberts), a member of the task force. Another task force member and an FBI agent, Ray (Ejiofor), takes on the case even though he's been told not to.
