Audience Reviews for Labyrinth of Lies

Feb 06, 2016

It has the bland and uninspired aesthetics of a film made for television but at least understands well the complexity of its subject matter despite some typical clichés of TV movies, like the protagonist giving in to alcohol abuse and his incomprehensible decision in the third act.

Carlos M Super Reviewer

Too soapy, unfocused & formulaic.
