Exposed (2016)

Sadly Over-hyped

How sad is this?

Fresh and Exciting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Scotty (Keanu Reeves) is investigating the murder of his police partner Joey. As the investigation goes on Joey becomes dirtier. His wife (Mira Sorvino) proclaims, "Joey was no choir boy." Meanwhile Isabel (Ana de Armas) who is connected to one of the suspects is having visions. Her husband is in Iraq as she says the rosary daily for him. As time goes on, the over clued mystery open up.Keanu Reeves played a very bland character. They could have hired Christian Slater to do the part and saved some money. He was snooze-fest boring and not well developed. Isabel was an interesting up lifting person, eerily saintly in her actions helping the poor and children.This is a crime drama you can wait to see.Guide: F-bomb. No nudity.

This movie dragged and dragged. The beginning starts off with a 5 minute walk down the subway station. If your not the person who made the movie this is how you feel up until the absolute end. You feel like your watching 2 separate people's lives and your not getting what the connection is. Then they add these weird sci-fi type characters and to this day I don't understand the point of the albino guy and Japanese lady. So you have this woman who was raped by her father or stepfather and the writer of the movie has her seeing herself as a little girl but you don't know she's seeing herself you think it's a little girl in her class!! How stupid!! On top of that the woman becomes pregnant yet her husband is in Iraq fighting a war and she goes around telling people she's like the Virgin Mary and God planted the baby in her womb!! Huh??!!! So at the end of the movie you learn Keanu reeves partner Joey raped her in the subway the night she sees the albino ghost and she was the one who killed Joey. she stabbed him in the back and pushed him on the tracks. I don't know any grown woman who would get raped, wind up pregnant and not remember any of it to the point you tell people(your dead husbands family) the baby got in her womb supernaturally. This movie was so bad.

Ana de Armas... Ana de Armas!!! This woman is quite possibly the most beautiful lady in Hollywood. Ana de Armas... Holy, Mother of... Oh My... The only good choice made by anyone involved in this movie, is making Ana de Armas portray whoever the hell she was supposed to be playing in this film. Ana de Armas... Ana-de- friggin'-Armas!!! I WILL be, dedicating an ENTIRE star to her alone.The other star is for everything/nothing else. This film is just bad. I'm sure when it was pitched, it sounded thrilling and enthralling... Little did Keanu and Ana know, that Declan or Gee, or XYZ, would completely screw them over.I thought this movie was a Crime Thriller Mystery. I didn't know anything about it at all. Then we see the white haired and bearded man float above the train tracks, and suddenly you feel a pleasant surprise arise. Is it a Sci-Fi? Is it supernatural? Your interest just, hits the roof.Guess what, it is a Crime Thriller Mystery. Now, I absolutely love that genre combo, but what was done here, is an absolute atrocity. This movie is just rubbish, in so many ways. Directing, acting, story, script, editing... Shoddy. The concept is AMAZING... The execution however, appalling.Sure, Joey was taking pictures of Isabel, followed her, raped her, then she killed him. How the story was told though was; Isabel is extremely religious, saw an angel and became the Virgin Mary. The rape story was COMPLETELY omitted, and not ONCE hinted, until the VERY end and the Elisa gambit/illusion was shattered halfway through the movie, when what seemed like another human being, acknowledged Elisa. In hindsight, the dots connect, but, the picture revealed is, disjointed. Also, was I the only one who finished this entire movie under the impression that it was called "EXPOSED"?Anyway, 3/10. 1 whole star for Ana alone... She is so worth it. The other star is for, I don't know... being so absurdly humdrum and monotonous that they could run that Isabel and Elisa ruse for as long as they did... And another star also, for the man with the electrolarynx.

I watched this on DVD which fortunately meant that I didn't waste too much money on it and I had the luxury of eventually giving up trying to make any sense of it and fast forwarding through pointless scenes with rubbish acting and directing.Even Keanu couldn't save this tripe of a movie.The story line could have been good but the script was nonsensical and the director didn't seem to know what type of movie he was making.I won't accuse the so called movie makers of using illegal substances while making this diatribe but at least that would explain how bad it is.
