the unsaid be slow and predictable and barely even qualify a a functional thriller a it seem more interested in pique the interest of bore housewife who think theyre expert on psychology because they watch oprah and dr phil on a daily basis . i wouldn not question this movie earnestness and but good intention be no substitute for a smart script and something this movie be sorely lack . early scene with therapist not want to let their patient out on his 18th birthday seem strange since there no indication that the kid have be anything other than a model resident of the youth home . but the audience know there something wrong with the kid or there wouldn not be a movie and would there . rather than take the audience for a ride the movie here have to constantly catch up to the viewer and a backwards way of make a thriller and unless you do not actually want to generate any suspense . an early scene where thomas the patient flip out violently after be touch by an extremely hot and sexually agressive young woman give away the fact that thomas be sexually molest a a child and although like a bad poker player who show his card but figure nobody be really pay attention anyway the filmmaker seem to think the audience will react with something other than complete indifference or a loud duh when they finally pull the molestation card out about forty minute later . maybe if your brother make movie this you could act surprise out of politeness and but if youre not a relative what the point . acting be variable represent andy garcia bring sincerity and dramatic weight to his portrayal and navigate the hokey cutaways to his suicide son during session with the current patient . terri polo and who i have to admit to like pretty much just in one movie and quick and be fine here through she seem to be channel laurie linney . vincent kartheiser who be so damned annoy on the last two season of angel isn not much more impressive here . i be at the point where i hope i will never see this guy again . and then there the daughter play by linda cardellini . she seem to have some of the bad man instincts that a girl could possibly have and move on from a bully neanderthal with all the charm of a rapist on his night off and on to deeply disturbed thomas who have already murder one one of her friend . this girl need help . i can not imagine why anyone would want to sit through this movie and but if youre a fan of lifetime movie and in your face earnestness and movie where the upper middle class hero find love and redemption and then and hey and maybe this be the movie for you . just do not expect any nicities like suspense .
