  Coming off the success of 'Gone Girl', Dark Places is the adaptation of Gillian Flynn's 2009 novel of the same name and it's all about re-visiting an old case (25 years old) who some say is still unsolved, and so begins the movie. The story was adequate, I was kept intrigued throughout even if the film did drag in some places. The switching between past and present was needed in order to maintain the suspense and fill in details about the plot, so that was good choice. The film was well shot and well directed. Theron and Hoult were excellent, in fact the whole cast was good, especially Sheridan. So why did i not overly enjoy it? Firstly the major twist of the film is way too predictable, too many characters and not enough screen time to actually establish their purpose to the story and finally the characters themselves just aren't likeable. We're supposed to relate to Theron's character and sympathise with her, but she just isn't likeable and thus ultimately did not care for the outcome. If you have low expectations, you may enjoy this film for what it is, and that's a slow dark mystery film...just don't expect to be wowed by it.

  Go in with lowered expectations, and you might end up doing alright out of Dark Places. If nothing else, you've got to at the very least admire that cast.

  An intense crime thriller, Dark Places is full of intrigue and suspense. The sole survivor of her family's massacre, Libby Day is ask to look at the case one last time in order to exonerate her brother (who was convicted of the crime); but the deeper she looks the more she starts to suspect that her brother is hiding something. Starring Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Christina Hendricks, the film has quite the impressive cast. And, the script does a good job at developing the mystery; telling the present day story in parallel with flashbacks to the events that led up to the murders. Still, the pacing can be rather slow at times, and the plot's a bit complicated. Yet despite its weaknesses, Dark Places is a compelling film.

  Kind of meh. Haven't read the book so I don't know how it sticks up against that. Not the worst film I've seen but this film ends up being pretty disjointed by its end.
