Dark Crimes
When a detective realizes that a hit novel resembles the inner workings of an unsolved murder, he tries to close the case by investigating the novel’s writer. The premise wasn’t bad and critics had some nice things to say about Jim Carrey’s performance but the niceties ended there. One critic called it an “artless slog” and we can’t find a reason to disagree with that opinion. The film picked up a 0% critics rating and an unimpressive 30% from audiences. The film was called too moody by critics who believed over-production led to a bogged down film experience that was almost unwatchable.
