The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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")

I watched this movie on a whim and boy was it lousy. The dialogue was flat, the characters were plastic, the plot was implausible and disjointed. This was a total waste of time. Kim Catrall, and Malcolm McDowell must be kicking themselves for doing this movie. Some of the dream sequences were interesting, but John Savage, the main character psychoanalyst, is a very weak leading man. I wonder if he ever was in a good movie. Even the murderer villain looks more like Fabio than a twisted killer. The hospital guard was laughable. This lummox obviously never acted before, nor would I ever believe that he could pass any exam needed to work in a mental hospital.

I actually liked this movie although the other reviewers on here seems to hate it. It's a very interesting story on many levels, is john savages character really ill or is he being framed? Will he be able to get out of that hell-hole? Is he imagining the things he sees? What if this hadn't been a low budget tv-movie?, with a bigger budget, some editing here and there and some bigger stars perhaps? (except savage and mcdowell which are good in this movie) then this movie could be a masterpiece since the story is very interesting. The story reminded me a bit of "the fugitive" although this is a totally different movie. I liked the ending although it's very sad.

How did they get John Savage and Malcolm McDowell to be a part of this mess?A poor excuse for a story, lousy editing... well, basically, lousy everything. Usually, when I see a movie, no matter how bad, there's always one or two moments, or one or two elements, that make it worth the while. Not so here. There's absolutely nothing new in this movie, and all those familiar elements are put together badly - or should I say, not put together, rather jumbled into one big soulless mess.Don't waste your time. It's bad, but not bad enough, I'm afraid, to make even me laugh. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
