Surprisingly incoherent and boring

One of my all time favorites.

Just perfect...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

So this is a movie based on one of Edgar Allan Poe's popular short stories. Although it's not all that close to it, except the movie deals with heartbeats and murders. Josh Lucas is the main protagonist in this movie and he plays a single father raising a daughter that has an illness. But when he gets a heart transplant and meets a female doctor that he starts a relationship with, things start to change. Especially within himself. Josh Lucas is actually really good in this, in fact he sort of reminds me of an American version of Daniel Craig. The thing is the beginning interested me than the rest of the movie. The mystery of trying to figure out what is going on kinda drives this movie. But when finding out what is going on, it just basically goes in a narrow and not very interesting direction. Overall the mystery aspect of this movie is kinda interesting but the rest is just mundane.5.5/20

Bearing only the most tenacious of links to the Poe story, Josh Lucas is convincing enough, nonetheless, as Terry, ,a single dad who has a desperate need to find out where his new heart has come from. A quest that leads him further down the rabbit hole of murder. Brian Cox is, as always, a joy to watch. And although the ending is foreseeable, There're just enough twists and turns along the way to keep my interest piqued and, unlike many films I've seen in the past, after the movie was over I didn't feel like I wasted my time.My Grade: B-Where I saw it: Show time Beyond

I have to admit when I first heard about this film I was very skeptical, seeing as Edgar Allen Poe's story was one of my favorites growing up. Tell Tale takes the original Poe idea and successfully expands on it, giving it a modern day twist.The film follows a man who has recently received a heart transplant from a person who was brutally murdered for their organs. The story's main character soon begins an investigation that challenges his very sanity.Josh Lucas as the lead does an excellent job. Lucas who has a background of starring in indie horror films like Session 9, delivers yet again with a solid performance the viewer can identify with.Tell Tale does have some weaknesses like most indie horror films do, mainly do to budget restrictions but its a decent effort.Overall, Tell Tale is worth watching.

After watching a lot of movies shot in Canada for the tax credit, I thought this was another one of them. Providence is a strange looking place, and except for the capitol building, it looked like Canada to me. I am glad to have gotten to see what it looks like. It's kind of disappointing that it turns out to look like some place not so much different from Quebec, down to the French business names. A movie about vigilantism usually gets its tension from the conflict between the morality of the vigilante's actions and the prudence of having and using a legal system. This movie tends to minimize even the imprudence of vigilante action, which waters down his desperation and the tension in the film. The continuity of this movie is noticeably off. The protagonist's hair style is noticeably different between one scene and the next one in continuity. Josh Lucas's performance is narrow in range. So is Brian Cox's, but that may be attributable to the murkiness of his motivation in the script. Lena Hedley's performance is spellbinding. She's a convincing medical expert, always dignified and caring, but a passionate lover. Beatrice Miller's a cute kid and a good actor.
