Watch Cries in the Dark For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I could not stop watching this movie, although I've seen it at least twice since 2006. It was very believable and unpredictable at the same time. Definitely one of the most entertaining lifetime movies- with great acting from everyone. I for one was glad that they cut down on the "blatant gore" factor, something which is very unnecessary for those that enjoy good acting/entertainment. I remember Eva LaRue from " All My Children". She was a was a standout even then. I would definitely recommend this movie for a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon with friends or family. I'm not sure what others- who've rated this movie 2-3 stars- are looking for in a good made for TV movie. This one has it!!

I am a huge fan of Eva La Rue, so when I read that she was in this movie, I had to see it.And the same with all of Eva's work, I was not let down.Not only does she portray the role of a police officer exceptionally well (Well, she has been a cop in two other roles so she should know what to do) but she also plays the part of the sister who is unsure of what to do next, which is what I love about it.When I find this movie on DVD, it will definitely be going on my shelf.A solid performance by Eva, and overall a fantastic movie.This movie is definitely one I can watch over and over without getting sick of it.

Carrie is a detective because her father was a cop. Her sister Elle had a different father and she sells real estate with her husband Scott. Carrie and Elle are as close as you would expect two sisters to be. They have a couple of cute scenes together, and there's even some comedy early on.Carrie and her mother, who outlived two husbands, don't get along because Carrie still doesn't have a man and that, to her mother, makes her inadequate. Elle is pregnant and due any day now, and Rosa, who she meets at the doctor's office, comments that they could share a cab to the hospital.One night Carrie is planning to have dinner with Elle and her husband, but she is asked to investigate a case involving a sex offender. This could be Davis, the same creepy guy who met with Elle earlier, first claiming he wanted to buy a house, then saying renting would be better since he moves a lot. Detective Wynn, who is a good friend to Carrie as well as a partner, takes the case instead, so Carrie is free to go to dinner.But dinner doesn't go well. Elle and Scott aren't getting along because Scott is a workaholic. He just HAS to take a business call during dinner. Then he leaves. Carrie ends up having to do the same thing.Scott returns. Where is Elle?Hours pass. The police can't do anything this soon. Still nothing. What happened to Elle?Eva LaRue is too pretty to be a detective (which is a real incentive for guys to watch), but she is a good enough actress. She has one particularly good scene where she makes clear how much the situation has upset her. But Carrie has to be a professional, and that's how she is once that one scene is done--except, of course, her chief keeps having to advise her not to get too involved in the case. This is a movie, though, so that won't work.Gina Chiarelli gives the standout performance here. We never quite know what's going on, but it's easy to put the missing pieces together. Later, we get to watch the detectives at work.Adrian Holmes and Anthony Harrison also do quite well here.There are situations in this movie that can be considered quite disturbing. Don't say you haven't been warned. Other than that, the violence is minimal.This is a pretty good movie.

The only redeeming feature of this movie was the acting by Eva LaRue Callahan. The story is hardly fresh (apparently the police in movie-land never listen to the news), the characters were flat as could be, the heavy handed backstory via "conversation" at the start of the movie between the sisters might as well have come via a Greek chorus for its subtlety, relationships were never fully examined... The "surprise" twist at the end was so obvious from the outset, again, where's the Greek chorus when you need it? The biggest problem the movie seemed to suffer from, though, was that it played like a mystery, with the focus being on the "crime solving" instead of the interpersonal relationships, but from the outset the writers basically told us who committed the crime. So instead of either trying to work it out with the police, or spending our time exploring the relationships between the characters, we end up wondering why they're so slow and dense. (And hello, the final scenes tying up all lose ends through more oral exposition is NOT giving your characters backstory and depth in any useful way.) Callahan, though, managed to give her character depth with the weakest of material, so while we never find out exactly why she and her sister were so incredibly close, we do feel it. This, along with hope that at some point the movie would get even a quarter of an inch below the surface, was all that could keep me watching. And as it ends, I'm wondering what I can do to get the last two hours of my Lifetime back.
