The Secret in Their Eyes


Recently I saw one of the better films I have ever seen. Unfortunately this movie is not in the theatres anymore, but for those of you with Netflix or access to a Blockbuster DVD machine, I am sure this movie will be coming out soon. The movie is The Secret in Their Eyes and it is an Argentinian film. It is a bit of a tough one to describe and I will admit, I was a little lost when the movie started, but once you get into it, this movie is truly one of the best you will have seen in a long time. In 2010, this film won the Oscar for best foreign film and definitely this movie has subtitles if you were wondering. Really amazing performances and a story that will have you guessing till the very end. The Secret in Their Eyes is a crime thriller which spans over two decades and keeps you thinking the whole time about what is truly going on. There is a scene in this movie that Roger Ebert commented on and I agree, I have no idea in the world, how they shot it. The scene takes place in a soccer stadium and is one continuous shot that seems almost impossible the way they filmed it. Definitely see this movie and for sure see it more than once. My favorite film of the last few years....
