The best stories uncover well kept secrets.
This one starts out really well. It's witty and satiric, with the idea of seeking justice for a falsely accused man. He develops the power of getting dark secrets out of the people he meets, and the trail gradually grows warmer.
A lot hinges on the dead girl, who is remembered as an amazing person. Sadly her secret isn't really worth uncovering and her character isn't all that amazing.
Just over half way through the story loses the witty touch, and we end up with a mechanical work through of a second rate plot that relies on daft symbolism and half-baked religious notions as expressed through the wonders of special effects. To top it off the villain is laughably unimpressive, and the final conflict is pure cheese.
Oh dear. Two hours for this?
