L'enfer du mensonge

Laura Stone (Kelly Preston) is a college literature professor sleeping with one of her students. Daniel Stone (Ron Eldard) is a stay-at-home comic book illustrator. Their high school daughter Trixie (Britt Robertson) gets dumped by her boyfriend Jason Underhill. At a drunken party, she reconnects with him. She claims rape but nobody at school believes her. Police detective Mike Bartholomy (Michael Riley) investigates. The case turns. One night, a drunken Jason falls to his death. Trixie suspects her father due to a previous incident.

This is a Lifetime movie. There may be some ambitions but I don't really like anybody or find the situation compelling. Jason needs to be more of a douche. Trixie is too desperate after getting dumped. The mysterious death comes to an unsatisfying resolution. I can stomach a standard Lifetime movie but this is somehow worst.

Did not manage to count the circles... but watched this on the little box as a lunch "digestif"! Pretty boring for most of the story with characters having their own agenda. Romeo did not really care about Juliette, well may be he did! Juliette folks had their own motivation to do what they thought they should do. And Juliette mixed things a little. But it brightens a little towards the last bit. However by then most feel like quitting and happy to reach the ending whatever it might be... I'll give it another circle! Oh BTW, I did not read the book. Wow, I feel like copy all this and paste it here to get enough lines for submission; I really did not want to say more about it as I felt I said already too much - But rules are rules!

I first read The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult a few years ago and really enjoyed it and have since read it several more times. It is a very good story with really interesting twists and very fascinating and complex characters. I was a more than a little disappointed to discover that they were making it into a Lifetime TV movie.

And just like I expected, despite the good story that certainly has the potential to be a solid movie, it was transformed into a cheesy and poorly acted Lifetime flick. As you watch, you feel indifferent towards the characters and bored with the clichéd plot. Amazing how this great book could be turned into yet another run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie with the same worn storyline and boring characters.

Within the first fifteen minutes I knew how it was going to end. All the "secrets" of the film were foretold, because it's very cliché.

First off the camera filming is horrible. There's a shake to the camera giving it very low-budget vibes. The story is boring because its over simplified and you already know how it's going to end.

The biggest draw to the movie would be the cast. I really like Britt Robertson and Kelly Preston but not even their great ability to act could save this movie. The script was so bad along side the plot that everything fell short.

The movie is boring and predictable stacked upon clichés.

Why make a movie based on the book if you're not going to actually stick to the story line...the dad wasnt at all masculine sorry to say ....the mom was dull and boring and they made trixie out to be promiscuous
