      Audience Member CRIMES OF THE PAST is a credible and well-crafted film that blends drama and suspense while exploring the deep devotion and repressed love that reunites a father and daughter following two decades of separation. Academy Award Nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), David Rasche (Burn After Reading, Flags of Our Fathers), and Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order, The Mentalist) Upon further exploration, I uncovered several reviews from critics... Stephen Farber of THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER - "Densely layered mosaic!" "Engrossing, Suspenseful, Superbly acted! The director has a keen eye, finding beauty in every Seattle corner... The actors create a genuine, moving connection!" - Moira McDonald, The Seattle Times. "A powerful family drama and a suspenseful spy thriller! Elisabeth Röhm's performance is both raw and beautiful!" THE SUN SYNOPSIS After Tommy Sparrow is severely wounded in a covert CIA operation, he comes home to discover his wife with another man. Tommy's rage and wounds frighten his seven-year-old daughter Josephine. When Tommy's wife tells him to leave and never come home, Tommy disappears back into the CIA, employing his skills as a spy to covertly watch his only daughter grow up. Twenty-five years later, Tommy Sparrow finally comes in from the cold – to retirement. Josephine is battling her own destructive nature and the damage done by the disappearance of her father. Tommy carries his scars both inside and out – and while his cold war operations never seem far behind, Tommy's journey home will surpass any mission he ran with the Agency – because reuniting with Josephine and becoming her father may cost him his life. Crimes of the Past uncovers mysteries of the past in a thrilling and rare love story about the power of forgiveness.
