Hide and Seek

The great joy of watching, or reading, a mystery, thriller, or psychological what-not is what we believe the outcome will be...and what it actually is. We think of the 'clues' the incidents that should lead to the eventual conclusion, the confusions, the misconceptions... 'Hide and Seek' is exasperating. You can guess along with the muddling plot and actions. You try to go along with it...You try to find logical conclusions..... Not this time!!! The plot meanders all over the place, and it is not a spolier to say.....'What the hell is going on'? We are left with questions that only indicate that somewhere along the line, an hour of plotwas losston the editing room. Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? I defy you to answer the basics.

Where s the logic? If I were to explain my review would contain spoilers, so I will try to keep my review vague. Lets just say the killer kills out of frustration?

So many loose ends, so many things didnt make any sense. Shame really cause it could have been good. Like didnt someone in charge watch it before it went out? They should have demanded it made sense.

This was an ok one time watch and nothing more. A tad bit slow but the build up of the story remained stabled enough to follow. Rhys Meyer played a solid lead throughout but it was more cameoish for Joe P. Nothing to write home about so if you have nothing else on your to watch list and have time to burn, this will not disappoint. On a another note, I have to say that Rhys Meyers and Barett are both ten years younger than me (I'm in mid my 50s) and they both look older than I am....wow. Never forget that your body is temple. I digress.

Rhys-Meyers is and OCD guy looking for his missing brother when he gets into an underground realm of squatters that starts to move in on his own family's safety. It's not who you think it's gonna be...which is fun. But the story is a smidge disjointed.
