A thoroughly entertaining murder mystery, The Secret in Their Eyes (El secreto de sus ojos) stars Ricardo Darín (Nine Queens) as a retired prosecutor who can’t let go of a 25-year-old rape and murder that he considers still unsolved, but solvable. He also deals with an alcoholic but heroic sidekick, a beautiful colleague who is too rich for him, a chase at a soccer match and all sorts of plot twists. Director Juan José Campanella was previously nominated for Son of the Bride (2001) and back in the 1990s he won a couple of Daytime Emmys. Presumably, The Secret in Their Eyes will earn general distribution in the U.S., but at the very least, look out for it on DVD.
