Synopsis: Trailer Clips IMDB

I'm a bit wary of David Schwimmer's involvement, but this could be interesting.

Terrell

It got a great reception at 2008 Toronto Film Festival, and many pundits are even talking about a possible Oscar nom for Beckinsale. Trailer looks very interesting. Though Schwimmer does seem to be the weak link.

Groucho

Schwimmer is a weird actor. I was flipping channels the other day and stumbled on some movie where he was beating "Jim" from The Office with a baseball bat.

anyone see this?

i just wanted to discuss this with others who saw it. i thought it was pretty effective. very well acted. i just can't believe someone would go through that and destroy their entire life. it seemed so extreme that i am not in a position to fully understand, but i guess because of who the source is i can understand.

so tell me for those who saw it...when did you figure out who it was? i got it at the 55 minute marker when the two CIA agents and Vera Farmiga's character were walking in the cemetery.




so was it that obvious for others? and what did you think overall?

LickTheABCs

I loved it. I thought Beckinsale was great (as she was in Snow Angels) and Farmiga was as well.

I think it took maybe about 45 minutes before I began to piece it all together.



Was still effective nonetheless.

I thought it wasn't as good as The Contender, though both feel like Lifetime movies. Matt Dillon was the best part. He should show his ugly side more often.

I really like the fact that Beckinsale is starting to choose much better roles. The action thing is okay every once in a while, but I've always thought she was a very talented actress languishing in bad roles. Good to see her finally show off her acting ability. She was also stellar in Winged Creatures and Snow Angels. 3 great films back to back to back. Now the question is her next two films going to be any good. One is Whiteout about her chasing a killer in the arctic. The other is a role with Deniro called Everybody's Fine about a father trying to reconnect with his estranged children.

Besides, she gives me a raging you know what.

i searched "Nothing" and "Truth" separately in here and reviews forum.

OldBoy

i loved "The Contender" as well. liked that more though. same director, right?

this surprised me. i thought it would be kinda ho hum, but was pleasantly surprised. and it and TC didn't seem Lifetime at all.

The only way to be absolutely sure is to do an advanced Search by Keyword, with "Search Title Only" selected. I have the advanced search page bookmarked right below my forum bookmark, so I can always do a quick check before posting a new thread.

i always do this search and just now, in fact, using advanced, keyword: Nothing, checked search titles only, highlighted movie talk

got: Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

If you type in Nothing But the Truth, it comes right up.

Just caught this on DVD and enjoyed it quite a bit. In response to the OP's question, I never figured out the source...mainly because I wasn't really trying to. I found myself pulled into the story and the character's separation from her family, and didn't pause to consider specifically who she was trying to protect. When it was revealed at the end, I didn't really see it coming.

RoyalTea

just saw this on Netflix. Didn't mind David Schwimmer, until I realized that his character is married to a "Rachel."

One question though,

Terrell

Very good film that was hurt by the contrived ending.

Dr Mabuse

It's been a good while(over a year) since I watched it, but I remember some good performances in a pretty intelligent plot.

Matt Dillon was really good IIRC.

Terrell

Interesting! While I thought he did a good job, I thought he was the weakest link as far as his performance goes.
