NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
I thought this movie would have something to do with the supernatural and that is why I watched it.
It starts off slowly and stays this way for some time. The main character of the movie tries to solve the mysteries of a 6 year old girl she and hubby find one night standing in the middle of the road. Who is this girl? Where does she come from? And why won't she talk? And why won't she cross over the chalk lines?
Elena Anaya Gutiérrez is an excellent actress and in my opinion if it wasn't for her I would not have finished this movie. She plays Paula who is 42 years old and childless. She wants desperately to have a child; we are made aware of this via fertility treatments which we see her take via needle too many times to count. The entire movie is watching her solve the mysteries of this little girl without much support from those around her.
The Chalk Line tries too hard for its own good to be a thrilling mystery. It reminds me of a wannabe Harlan Coben thriller squished into 90 + minutes with a couple of extreme twists that actually go over the top.
