Unpleasant by Kona (Emerald City)  1 Stars
September 25, 2009
Ben (Colin Firth) was in a bad car accident that killed his wife. As the story opens he's in the hospital, coming out of a coma. He goes back to his creepy apartment building where he is the only resident. He cannot come to terms with his wife's death and hallucinates about her constantly. To make things worse, he finds himself the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a famous rock singer.
Yikes. This is a bad movie. It attempts to be an art film delving into the mind of a mentally ill man, but falls completely flat and is just one long, confusing, and very unpleasant movie. We never know if what we are seeing is real or imagined; it's too hard to follow and totally repellent. Firth does the best he can with the terrible script but I didn't like or care about his character at all. If you're afraid of creepy crawly creatures, this is not the movie for you; the same goes if you're looking for Firth to be a debonair heartthrob. Not recommended.

Boring is too good a word for this. by Sheila Bloom (Alexandria, VA United States) 1 Stars
August 25, 2008
Watching this makes watching grass grow look good. I cannot believe Colin Firth would make a movie that is beyond amateurish. I've seen bad movies and this is as bad as it can be. It seemed to be about five hours long, 4 hours and 59 seconds too long.
If you suffer from insomnia, this would be a great aid to make you sleep.

Boring, slow and uneventful movie ! by Metallian 1 Stars
April 24, 2008
I don't want to spend too much time describing this DVD because it is really a boring and uneventful movie that just doesn't get any better with the passage of time (viewing it more than once). I really tried to watch this movie but could never finish it both times that I had given it a 2nd chance. It was so slow and boring and, also irksome was the fact that the traumatized patient of the car accident and the events that followed at times seem absolutely unconnected to the basic plot of the movie. The delusional scenes are, at least for my taste, far too many and make the film confusing to follow.
The main actor was doing a good job, but couldn't rescue the movie. I really disliked this movie, most of all because of its immensely slow pace. I hate DVDs like that. At times the movie really felt like it was not just tiresomely dragging on but as if it had actually come to some sort of stand still juncture that didn't seem to end.
To make a long store short, skip this one, unless you enjoy being bored.

wow by M. Bushong (lusby, md usa)  5 Stars
March 07, 2008
I honestly didn't know what to think after watching this film. It was the ultimate thriller and keeps you going from the beginning. Colin's character is disturbing yet you seem to emphathize with him even after knowing the whole truth. Well done.

Excellent the Brits are doing what they do best by L. B. Geddes (UK) 5 Stars
July 26, 2007
This is what the british do best. If you are not prepared to use your mind and think during this movie it is not for you.If you wanted it handed to you on a plate. This is an extremely exciting, thrilling, and absorbing movie. Colin Firth and the BBC at there best. If you love watching BBC America Crime Trillers you will love this.
I was worried about the customer reviews for this movie.
And after watching Where the truth Lies I was a bit worried that maybe Colin Firth did some stinker movie scripts. I must say I am a Colin Firth fan in his comedy roles and the advocate and his musicals.I am glad to see that he can pick such fabulous scripts and really make them seem convincing and entertaining.
