In this gripping crime thriller, Russell Crowe stars as Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, forced to revisit a case he can't remember. As a man's life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth -- sometimes, it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Highly suspenseful who-done-it that took me two thirds of the way through to guess who did it, though there were earlier hints. Russell Crowe seldom fails to deliver. A much better movie and acting for a $5.99 rental than many of the high budget $25 rentals.

Just rented this on Apple. Russell Crowe is a far cry physically from his days as Maximus but hasn't lost a beat in the acting department. Surprisingly moving performance in the end. Kept me engaged and off my phone for almost two hours, which is a hard thing to do these days.

It’s patchy, it’s badly lit, it’s glum, it’s overloaded with suspects, and it’s almost proud of its contrivances. Yet in its logy, booby-trapped way, it keeps you watching.

Sobering but also rich dramatic material...

Crowe is better than “Sleeping Dogs.” Most actors are.

Crowe's solvency in the lead role is the most notable attribute of a film that probably won't remain in many people's memories. [Full review in Spanish]
