Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

lukem-52760 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

lavatch In the bonus segment of the DVD of "True Crimes," the actors and director struggled to explain the meaning of this strange drama. On the surface, the film was a thriller about the search for who killed Sadowsky with a zealous Polish detective seeking to reopen the cold case and solve it on his own. But on another level, the filmmakers appeared to have another goal that ventured into deep thinking about the nature of "truth" that turned into a muddled mess for the viewer to understand.One of the points made in the bonus track was that there exists "many sides to truth." But instead of exploring different perspectives on a complex murder case, the film focused on a single perspective from the point of view of the detective, then pulled the rug out from under him (and the audience) by way of a gimmicky ending.Tadek (Jim Carrey) is the grizzled detective who pursues a case that was long shuttered by the police department. While his career took a nosedive for apparent ethical misconduct, Tadek is not deterred from getting involved so personally in the case that he sleeps with the mistress of the suspect, a weird writer of novels who appears to have difficulty in differentiating reality from fiction.The pace of the film is laborious with the cat-and-mouse game between Tadek and the disturbed writer Kozlov unfolding at a snail's pace. Characters seemed to be endlessly opening and closing doors with little action. At one point, Tadek inexplicably enters the apartment of the mistress, voyeuristically observing the intimacies of the couple. The background on Tadek's past was never made clear, especially his relationship with his long-suffering wife.At some point, the audience needed a reason to care about the characters and to become engaged in the drama. This never happened in a film that had philosophical pretensions that were never made clear right up to the moment of the trick ending.

3_the_monkey Doesn't everyone love Jim Carrey? I have to say I prefer him in this kind of film, one of my favourites being 23, it was so dark and he is so intense in it. I grew up on pet detective and the mask and I remember my cheeks aching from laughing so hard at the cinema, although this may not be any of those it's ok, it's worth a watch. It started off with a feel of 'Hostel' which to be honest unsettled me but luckily it's not even remotely anything close. The pace fits, acting as you would expect is good, Jim is just a bit muted.... Jim is better than the character and as such I think you expect him to bring more to the role but I think if he had it wouldn't have fit....

j-a-julian Jim Carrey is a terrible actor. Yes, he succeeds in the very narrow rubber face comedy niche but that quickly goes stale.No attempt at rubber face comedy here. He tries to be a serious actor. Virtually anyone off the street could have put in a better performance. Jim Carrey is a terrible actor.The plot is plodding. The pace is slower than slow. Charlotte Gainsbourg gives a reasonable performance but the rest are B movie or worse. Oh, and I should mention, Jim Carrey is a terrible actor.This film has absolutely no redeeming values. Absolutely not worth your time. To sum it up I must say ... Jim Carrey is a terrible actor.
