Consensus: The belabored noir plotting feels unbelievable, thus removing any sense of suspense. Also, Lohman is badly miscast.

Top CriticThe solution to the 'mystery' ... becomes anticlimactic.
02/02/06
Top CriticEgoyan simply offers too much in terms of twists and trysts.
11/18/05
Top CriticA mystery-inside- a-mystery that mostly just drives around in search of a nonexistent address and hits dead ends.
11/18/05
Top CriticEvery face on screen seems wrong for the part chosen.
11/04/05
Top CriticA mesmerizing show-business Rashomon.
11/03/05
Top CriticIt's less a whodunnit than a whocares.
11/03/05
Top CriticThis is a silly, ponderous piece of work, and you won't believe one word of it.
10/28/05
Top CriticMore about vulgar shock value and vivid period re-creations than it is an absorbing or convincing crime story.
10/28/05
Top CriticThe trouble with Where the Truth Lies is that it's lousy art. Egoyan rubs our noses in behavior that he seems to think his movie is too good for.
10/28/05
Top CriticWhere the Truth Lies is heavy-handed, bombastic, blatant, overwrought, confusing and florid. But bless its shameless heart, it's also watchable.
10/27/05
Top CriticWhere the Truth Lies might have worked if Egoyan had cast someone more credible in the central role of the reporter, but Lohman isn't believable for a minute.
10/27/05
Top CriticThe whole thing is supposed to be funny (the book, at any rate, was funny), but instead it just feels sordid.
10/27/05
Top CriticAnother director might handle the showbiz and the murder and intrigue with dispatch, but Egoyan thinks about the emotional cost to the characters, as he also did in Felicia's Journey.
10/27/05
Top CriticAwful finds new meaning in this monumental misfire from Atom Egoyan.
10/22/05
Top CriticThe film, a pseudo noir, is compulsively watchable even as laughably over-the-top moments start piling up.
10/21/05
Top CriticI certainly admire its creativity and its visuals and the performances especially from Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon.
10/17/05
Top CriticSex, drugs, intrigue, murder, extortion, betrayal -- it's all in there, every which way.
10/14/05
Top CriticEgoyan's uncharacteristic bid for the mainstream flames out on many levels, but it's hard not to stare with fascination at the dying embers.
