Dark Places (2015)
Directed by Giles
Paquet-Brenner this film based on the novel of the same name stars
Charlize Theron, Christina Hendricks, Nicholas Hoult and Chloe Grace
Mortez. Thirty years after a surviving the massacre of her family and
testifying that her brother was the killer a woman re-examines her
past.
Starting off slowly
this film gradually becomes an interesting exploration of lies and
poverty right up to the point that it is ruined by a weak ending. I
feel like both this film and Gone Girl (2014), which is also adapted
from a novel by the same author, have problems with their ending but
this film does not have Fincher to guide it. You can certainly pick
some interesting things out of this film it is just a shame about how
it ends given how good the cast is.
3/5
