"Secret in Their Eyes" is a dark remake of the excellent Oscar winner "El secreto de sus ojos" (2009). The story of the Argentinian-Spanish film is magnificent and the cast of "Secret in Their Eyes" is top-notch. Despite the confused screenplay, the result is a film not comparable to the original but worthwhile watching. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Olhos da Justiça" ("Eyes of the Justice")

This is a rare beast a remake that is actually pretty good. Although it it isn't as good as the original, lacking the slow burn nature of it, it's still a well made and entertaining film. It's pretty similar to the original but the shorter running time means it's faster paced which does diminish it's substance. What makes this worth watching even for those who have seen the original is the acting. It boasts a top rate cast with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Julia Roberts particularly good. For those who have seen the original this will hold no surprises but for those who haven't seen it, it is well worth watching with a great ending.

I also watched the original version of the movie. It was a much better movie. The movie has an interesting revenge story. Preferably I recommend the original. If not, you can watch that too.
