Hide

Very poor attempt at a serial killer film. Bodies found in a graveyard, detectives called to investigate. Then 2 hours of grossly overloaded plot. The players in this movie are sub-standard 'B' picture and it really does show. Meant to be taken from a book but the story is so tedious and convoluted, I used the fast forward. As often happens when the film makers have a boring story they seem to think that having sub text romance in the film will somehow improve it: big mistake especially in this movie.

I am being very generous and give:

2/10

I read the book before seeing the movie, and I am aware of the fact that the translation of a book into a movie is often a disappointment. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the adaptation of this book. I think it tries to keep the spirit of the book, even when there are some changes, and I really think they did their best to stick to the story and keep things into character. I actually did not know much about most actors, but they were cast well.

My impression was that this was a way to start a series based on D.D. Warren stories. I would like that. She appeared to be a witty, strong character. I think that Bobby was not portrayed as strong as he could be, because a lot of his background story was left out in this movie. I have to admit that some parts of the movie were a bit cheesy, or should I say old-fashioned, or (maybe worse) stereotype, but I could look past that because of the overall story.

My main criticism would be the use of the 'victim' Annabelle. In the book, she has a lot of first-person story, that is not really included in the movie now. Moreover, she appears to be a stronger personality in the book than in the movie. I personally believe that that is a missed opportunity, since they cast someone that could really play a believable strong but vulnerable personality to play Annabelle. Overall, I would recommend to watch this movie.

When new events seem connected to old murders, the police force tries to make the connections. Sergeant warren has reviewed what happened years ago at the old state hospital, but is having trouble finding out how that connects to what is happening today. It's okay. We don't actually see a lot of police work... kicking in doors, showing up just in time, when stuff happens. The supervisor appears to be shagging both of her subordinates. Sounds like a conflict of interest, or ethics, or something. When we do find out what's going on, it's purely by chance. Not through work on the part of the detectives.a lot of talk about the relationships between all the officers. Directed by john gray. Has won several film fest awards.

This book would have made an amazing movie. Ruining the main character, poor taste. I wont go on because the actors and actresses in this is great but this book was not even comparable. Lisa Gardner deserved wayyy better.

The discovery of mummified womens' bodies in an underground pit sparks an investigation into a grisly affair in "Hide," a 2011 TV movie. Carla Gugino stars as the detective married to her career. The murders are reminiscent of an earlier murder where the victim survived. In the current set of murders, one victim is wearing a necklace with her name on it; however, it turns out that the necklace was a gift from her best friend -- who looks very much like the victim from the previous murder.

Fairly interesting if slightly confusing TV movie where there are plenty of suspects, but if you've seen as many of this type of thing as I have, you'll figure at least part of it out in the first fifteen minutes.

There is something very detached about not only the story but the performances. Carla Gugino is the big name in this, followed by Mark-Paul Gosselaar of Franklin & Bash. Unfortunately, the dialogue isn't much. Gugino is worthy of better, but she looks great.

Okay. So far, these TNT mystery movies aren't ringing my chimes.
