2/5

Madueño is a sympathetic lead, and Bang cannily uses mildness as cover for extreme anger. But they are undermined by a scatty plot that won’t be worrying Stieg Larsson or Jo Nesbø any time soon.

2/4

A bit tepid until the final ten minutes, the film’s resolution feels incomplete, or rather inequitable to the broader group of victims in the story.

It's a bang-up but overall disappointing finish.

3/5

Without anything new to offer, this might be perfectly watchable but it's far from memorable.

The film is a mixed bag for me. The build-up in the first half works out fine, but just as the revelations are made, the film goes downhill. You can sense the hurry to untie all the knots as we approach the finish line.

“The Secret Woman “ This was a Danish film one that I really truly enjoyed and I think that everyone can enjoy this movie. A movie about a young lady who succumbs to amnesia and find yourself aboard cruise ship without knowing how she got there. Eventually she returns to her rifle hole as she is the head of a large shipping company. But that’s when things start to take a wrong turn as she discovers conspiracies deceit on the part of her so-called husband. you don't wanna miss this one it's very good.

Predictable, and as it progressed it got corny and ending weak… full of clichés. Total waste of time!

I rate this movie 9.5 out of 10. It was a very good movie. I most definitely love the ending but overall this is a very great movie and I would recommend it to my family and friends.

This movie is advertised like "Jason Bourne" in which the main character has amnesia. That is just about the only commonality with Jason Bourne. If you have 2 hours to kill with no expectations of this movie, watch it.

This movie is about as bad as it could possibly be in every respect. On the bright side, it is undeniably trash—which, under the right circumstances, could at least be fun.
