![]() We're supposed to relate to Theron's character and sympathise with her, but she just isn't likeable and thus ultimately did not care for the outcome. So why did i not overly enjoy it? Firstly the major twist of the film is way too predictable, too many characters and not enough screen time to actually establish their purpose to the story and finally the characters themselves just aren't likeable. Theron and Hoult were excellent, in fact the whole cast was good, especially Sheridan. The film was well shot and well directed. ![]() The switching between past and present was needed in order to maintain the suspense and fill in details about the plot, so that was good choice. The story was adequate, I was kept intrigued throughout even if the film did drag in some places. Coming off the success of 'Gone Girl', Dark Places is the adaptation of Gillian Flynn's 2009 novel of the same name and it's all about re-visiting an old case (25 years old) who some say is still unsolved, and so begins the movie. ![]()
