Review of In Darkness

In Darkness (2018)
7/10
Nothing Simple in Here
23 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
In her London apartment Sofia ( Natalie Dormer), a blind concert pianist, hears a commotion on the floor above her apartment and later discovers the woman Veronique (Emily Ratajkowski) who she barely knew either jumped or was pushed out of the window and died. The possible killer Marc (Ed Skrein) believes Sofia saw him, but learns later that she is blind, but he keeps an eye on her anyway. Why?

I thought this would be a simple murder mystery, but I was wrong as there is a lot more to the story than meets the eye. There are a lot of twists and you have to keep up. But here are some clues anyway: Sofia had agreed to play for the father of Veronique and his name is Radic (Jan Bijvoet) a suspected war criminal during his time in Bosnia and allowed to stay safely in England. Detective Mills (Neil Maskell) simply doesn't believe that a blind woman with heightened senses for hearing cannot be of more help. Marc believes Veronique gave something to Sofia and he needs it to keep Radic safe.

There are too may darkened scenes. Seems to be a thing for this type movie. Acting all around is good.

Notables: Joly Richardson as Alex, Marc's sister; James Cosmo as Niall, the person who carried Sofia out of war torn Bosnia when she was a child.

There is one very last twist and this is after all is said and done as Sofia walks away. (7/10)

Violence: Yes. Sex: Yes. Nudity: Yes. Humor: No. Language: yes, but not much. Rating: B
