Poor Execution of a Promising Storyline
25 June 2016
After the death of his beloved wife Wendy (Candice Daly), the psychologist Dr. Ian Lazarre (John Savage) becomes alcoholic. His second wife Teresa Lazarre has just left him but together with his lawyer and best friend Joe McNamara (Eric Pierpoint), they convince Ian to go to rehab. They bring him to the Blackhurst Institute, where Dr. Vernon Renquist (Malcolm McDowell) submits Ian to an experimental treatment with the support of the nurses Racquel Chambers (Kim Cattrall) and the strong James (Sam J. Jones). However Ian becomes aggressive and delusional, and believes Dr. Renquist is damaging his brain with the medication and Teresa is cheating him with Joe. Is Ian right or becoming deranged?

"Where Truth Lies" is an intriguing film with a promising storyline but poorly executed. Kim Cattrall is lost in the role of a sexy nurse and the screenplay is a total mess and unintentionally ambiguous. In the end, the viewer does not know exactly what happened to Wendy and Teresa. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "A Marca da Traição" ("The Mark of the Betrayal")
