O Mistério do Penhasco

A family is left devastated when a shocking crime leaves them all wondering what and why, as the family come together, they hear of a shocking past, which may just hold the answer to recent events.

Based on a true story, The Ravine is an interesting enough movie, one that is for the most part, worth your time.

At times it becomes a little confusing, it doesn't particularly flow well, the flashbacks don't always seem to make sense, I did have to rewind back once or twice to just try and put the pieces together.

It just goes to show, someone may present as being sane, sorted and living the perfect, wholesome life, it's not always the case.

Acting was decent, Peter Facinelli was rather good, he's maturing well.

6/10.

I enjoyed the film - even though the subject matter is not pleasant. Great cast and performances, in my opinion. A film built on spirituality, grief, and redemption. It's a drama, not a whodunit murder mystery. If religious movies turn you off - this won't be your cup of tea.

.... in the end I didn't. A load of pretentious garbage and a waste of an hour and a half of my precious time on earth. I'm sure those who watch film as some kind of intellectual exercise might appreciate it but I watch films to be entertained, and this did not do that. Sat waiting for the big reveal, but there wasn't one.

This movie was not a mystery OR a thriller. It was some kind of supernatural-old woman-can-see-things movie. I kept waiting for it to get good or even decent, but it never did.

Another thing this movie isn't is FIVE stars - it's not even TWO stars! The people who made this movie must've coerced everyone they know to get this movie to the 5 star rating on the platform I rented it from - that's the only thing that makes sense.

Please, and what I've said is just my opinion - you may feel differently, but please, don't buy this movie. If you have to waste your money and time on it - maybe because you lost a dare or a bet - rent it, and then try to forget it. Shouldn't be hard.

It's like two completely separate movies were cut in half and then just taped together. If they had gone with the whodunit theme, or had gone with the Christianity theme of forgiveness and overcoming evil, either way would've been fine. But the fact that the trailer set it up more as a whodunit,and they didn't finish it in that manner, it just really didn't make any sense.
