Crímenes oscuros

A hard-boiled detective becomes suspicious of an author whose novel resembles the inner-workings of an unsolved murder.

Director Alexandros Avranas' Dark Crimes is wonderfully framed and is tour de force in lighting and creating a moody atmosphere. Reminiscent of 2016's The Snowman, while well written Jeremy Brock's solemn screenplay is non-eventful. However there are some solid performances, Marton Csokas is on fine form, Carrey is outstanding in this serious brooding role as an investigator who wants to solve a case that he was taken off.

The twist whodunit at the end comes as no surprise, never the less, worth viewing for Carrey's performance alone.

Wow what a different JIM CARREY we have here!!! & he was Excellent in this very dark crime Thriller, i think Carrey is great at Drama & this movie really shows how good an actor he really is, feels like we're FINALLY getting to see the REAL jim carrey,the Jim Carrey he always wanted to show on screen!!! I grew up watching Carrey like EVERYONE did as the rubber face crazy comic genius but there is NO trace of that Carrey here at all!!! Here is a powerful performance by the "New" Jim Carrey & i loved it. Dark Crimes itself is a very dark & dreary Crime Thriller & I'm not going into the story because this should be watched not knowing really anything about it except it's a dark crime Thriller & that's how i watched it, i didn't read or watch a single review i just heard about Jim Carrey doing this very serious crime Thriller & waited to buy it on dvd. So yeah this is a very good Thriller with a very moody atmosphere & very dreary & dark with a serious & excellent JIM CARREY who gives a fantastic performance with an accent!!! Just watch it & get hooked into the story like i did & I'm so looking forward to more darker serious roles by Carrey hopefully in the future? JIM CARREY has successfully transitioned from Comic legend to a great serious Actor

Overall the film was very disappointing and I was expecting a B grade movie to begin with. I'm a Jim Carrey fan, but I would not recommend anyone waste their time with this movie. It was just put together badly and creates a mess.It is predictable, boring, slow, with a plain, depressing color palette, too much silence, in a story that tries to be complex but is not. I see there was effort here, just not one that actually amounted to something worthwhile.Everything was there..but whoever put it all together dropped the ball big time..People will want to watch this movie because Jim is in it but pass this one up if you are on the fence about watching it. Trust me. A 5 in my book is "worth watching once". I rate this a 4, because it is not worth watching.

This movie was initiallly released in Europe. In 2016. Up until then the ratings had it at 7.6 Then it gets re-released to US and worldwide as Dark Crimes. Then the ratings and reviews drop it down to under 5. So you understand the differences of opinion here. I liked the movie. It is slow paced yes, but it does not drag too long. I enjoyed the filmography and the direction of scene (it actually reminded me of Mr Robot) with a slight twist at the end. All the shot/reverse-shot scenes between Jim Carrey and Marton Csokas were amazing. And Jim Carrey playing the cold detective is also very good. I recommend it, unfortunately, others do not becuase it's not an American cop drama with lots of shooting explosions etc. If you expect that, do not see the film

This movie started off well and Jim Carey does A decent job. But the ending is such a letdown and it feels rushed. It's not terrible but it ain't good either. 5/10
