The Whole Truth (2016)

The story is completely idiotic and absurd. It is a film made only to keep you attention. No intelligence.

The story of this movie is great. it has great characters, great story line, and an unending you won't see coming. The execution of this movie was horrendous. It's set out in a courthouse with witness testimony with the occasional flashback. Criminal court is absolutely boring to sit through in real life, the only thing making it better on big screen is that the testimony is significantly condensed. Because the story is told in an such an uninteresting method, you end up feeling bored despite the story being actually interesting. This would've been better shown with scenes of the trials and in depth flashbacks to the incidents separate from witness testimony. . Also, I know the law changes depending on where you go. But, pretty sure you can't leave confidential legal files scattered around a motel room where any maid can walk in and read it. Sounds like reasonable grounds for disbarment to me. . It was also strange to see Jim Belushi in not a comedy.

It's a pretty even movie with a nice factor of meh. The acting is okay from the leads but somehow better from the supporting cast members. They wanted desperately to throw a twist at the end and it doesn't pay off, more that it harms the film with its presence. It's not a good mystery plot and as a law film it's not overly interesting in that sense either. I watched it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

After she said she in a press conference years ago that she was finished at 40 with acting lolMust be skint and needed the money to pay for all that plastic surgery.Seriously though, I didnt know it was Zelwegger until someone told me. Dont get me wrong she looks very good for her age but she looks like someone totally different and her acting was instantly forgettable as was the whole awful funeral dirge of a movie.Sadly for her this wasnt even good enough to be an episode of a lame tv detective series , awful script, Keanu doing his usual wooden performance and stilted voice acting; dont get me wrong I liked him in the much better John Wick movies but he could have been any actor in this.The story was not unusual or remarkeable and that is what is needed these days after landmark movies like "7" and Saw - the audience is expecting something that will tweak their brain and not some old formulaeic straight to dvd wet weekday afternoon movie for stay at home mums/or dads to while away the hours. I was half expecting Adrian Paul and Jane Seymour to turn up lolIf this is Renee's comeback movie then I am afraid she should not have come back lolSome people seem to think the ending was unexpected but both of us figured it out within the first 15 mimnutes of the movie - for a movie to be a good one thats a bad start. I just couldnt get over Keanus awful stilted voice droning on and on and on - its as if he was just picking up a cheque and bored with the whole thing!
