Listen I read the book and this movie confused me. They tried too much to put together a pretty twisted web of things that happened and left out a lot of the core things that makes these characters who they are. I just think it's one of those books that can't be adapted without loosing its integrity.

Unbelievable, disjointed. Charlize disappointing. Lost interest after 30 mins. Flashbacks are so annoying!

Dark Places:Rating: shaky I got mixed feelings about this movie, though it is very intense. I liked the whole idea of the killer club (a group of people interested in crimes doing their own investigation), but felt as though they should've been involved more in the film.A major problem which absolutely didn't stick well with me in this film is when Lyle (member of killer club) who really isn't involved in the film, contacted Libby about information, it came out of nowhere. When, where and how, there is nothing to show the viewers how he got it.

In 1985 the entire Day family was killed with the exception of one little girl, Libby Day, and her brother, Ben Day. Ben was arrested and convicted for the crime with the help of Libby Day's testimony. 30 years later the case is being reinvestigated by Libby (Charlize Theron) and a weird true crime devoted club known as Killer Club.This is a true mystery that unfolds bit by bit just as a well written mystery should. The movie takes its time to reveal small nuggets from Libby's memory as well as the actual happenings of the fateful event. With the captivating writing and above-average acting you are treated to a superior crime mystery.
