Grey Lady

An American drama; A story about a Boston homicide detective who searches for clues about a serial killer that murdered both his sister and his partner which leads him to Nantucket, an island where he uncovers secrets about his family's past. The main problem with the film is it doesn't spend enough time on character development before launching into overwrought plotting. The pacing fails because of a sketchy main character. Although it is absorbing as a whodunnit, with such crude methods of viciousness and so many plot turns it felt forced and hard to engage with. It boasts a lovely setting and all the technical elements are tick-boxed for a modern drama.

The premise interested me. I really enjoy a good murder mystery. This was just muddled. The acting/script really weren't that great and just made it all incredibly cheesy.

Spent half of the time wondering what was happening and hoping for a pay off that was at least worth it. It wasn't.

It seems that poor movies are propped up initially by gushing reviews from those associated with the movie and their friends, family and associates. So from someone who has not reviewed a movie before on IMDb and who is not linked to the movie in any way I need to say something.

Nantucket is the stand out character in this movie and it is wet, grey, dull and lifeless - everyone and everything else fails to live up to this standard including the direction, writing, script and acting.

There are some movies that after you finish watching, you ask yourself why? Why this movie was made? The movie was a car wreck, bad writing, acting direction, even the island looked fake, The Grey lady looked like Staten Island rather than herself! Do yourself a favor watch anything else but this!

If you like engaging slow burners are in for a treat. I just cannot understand how anyone can give this 1 star , there are really low budget poorly made and badly acted films out there but this film is not one of them and for people to give this film such a low rating has no right leaving reviews
