Mar 10, 2013 Movie's okay, but score rocks! Trying to find the score is hard!!! See more Feb 19, 2013 One of my favorite actors, Jeremy Sumpter, leads a mostly unknown cast in the new direct-to-video drama, Hiding. I liked the concept behind this movie, but I don't like the part of the story they chose to focus on. The writers spent too much time on the present, without telling us enough about the past. While we have an idea of what happened, watching the beginning of this film is like arriving at the theater fifteen minutes late and having to play catch up the whole time. Joe (Ana Villafane) witnessed a murder in her home town of New York City. Being that she is the key witness against a major crime family, she is put into the witness protection program, given a cover story, and put into a new life in the middle of nowhere. The film begins with Joe being dropped at her new home, with a very vague description of what happened, what's expected of her, and how long she'll be there. From there the film kind of turns into a CW teen drama, which wasn't very appealing, however the filmakers used flashbacks and side angles, to stop it from turning into Dawson's Creek. Sumpter plays one of two guys interested in Joe, as always he was dynamic, but here he was also funny and charming, a clear opposite of the other love interest, who just seemed to drone on and on. As for the lead, in her debut role, Ana Villafane was nothing short of terrific. This is not the kind of movie I go for and the focus was not on the part of the script that interests me, but the combination of Villafane and Sumpter, along with flashbacks and side stories did keep the film going. My description probably sounds quite dull, but Hiding keeps on moving and keeps your attention by using some pretty unconventional methods. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it was most definitely entertaining. See more Feb 13, 2013 This was a mildly enjoyable, but thoroughly confusing movie. I have no idea why Jo never settled on one guy even in the very end. I wasn't impressed with the resolution to the story because the parents' murderer was never brought to justice.

The only reason I watched it because sometimes indie movies surprisingly come out very good or at least good time pass. But sadly none can be sad about the movie. The lead actress is as bad as she looks in the movie. Nobody likes an obnoxious ugly girl, I don't know how these girls get roles oh I know actually. Jeremy Sumpter was the only good thing in the movie, his scenes were good to watch but the movie was so tacky that he cannot save it with his sweet charm. Pretty Little Liars Alum Tyler Blackburn was just like he is in Pretty Little Liars which is Okay. Overall, trash this one and don't waste time considering it has Tyler Blackburn and Jeremy Sumpter.
