The Truth

I am a big fan on independent movies. Although, The Truth never lets on to the fact that it isn't a "big budget" film. The movie is well scripted. There is also some star power in its line up of actors. The plot thickens heavily in the movie, as certain truths are tested. The director (Ryan Barton-Grimley) is obviously good at keeping secrets, and using them as triggers. Barton-Grimley allows the hidden truths to unravel so slightly, that you are holding your breathe for every baited answer. This movie was devilishly good. It was a thrill ride beginning to end. I would definitely recommend this film. Audiences will indisputably get some adrenaline from this heart pumping thriller.

A guy breaks into a house and terrorizes an old man and a gold digger. Acting is terrible especially Erin Cardillo, who should never be allowed in public again.

Seems like another cheapo movie made in LA. A mind game / revenge movie complete with flashbacks.

John Heard is alright here but seems out of place for this role.

-1 Star for 2/3 of the way through the movie and there is absolutely no evidence of a worthwhile character

-1 Star for the Ending, or lack thereof, and once again, no evidence at all of a worthwhile character

Perhaps that is 'The Truth', that all people are worthless. Haha.

This film was interesting and kept me involved through the entire 90-minutes. The plot and concepts were not unique, I have seen many movies that follow similar concepts. That being said, it was still an interesting and compelling story, and had some good twists and turns throughout.

From movies such as The Strangers, Desperate Hours, Panic Room, Funny Games, and maybe even Death Trap, the concept of people being locked in their home and being kept hostage is not new.

I think the acting wasn't that great, though there were some recognized names in the credits. I found John Heard's acting the best of the group, though the rest of the actors were so poor it is hard to tell if he was any good or just better than the worst.

If you like movies that have twists and are a mixture of thrillers and mystery you might like this movie.

Not the greatest movie I've ever seen. Not the worst either but would not recommend watching.
