Dark Crimes (Jim Carrey) review.
====
This rather somber and gloomy portrait of a real-life European murder-mystery finds a gripping portrait offered by Carrey, who's had a very offbeat career since breaking through TV-acclaim into mainstream culture/cinema. The story concerns a rather dark and graphic businessmen-choreographed sex S&M rape/sex cave-club of very attractive young women which is tied to a fiction-work, novel, that Carrey's character explores. The novel describes a murder (fictional) that parallels a real murder case he's investigating. Clues/cues lead him to a woman who might've been saved post-rape by her boyfriend who might be taking the dive for something she did in half self-defense. However, Carrey's character may see a moral/physical demise mirroring the hard-nosed depression oriented real-life dark case of crime/veils that would leave questions about modern Earthling life too uneasily open!
The film received very negative reviews, though some spoke out and claimed it was serious and hard and nicely-captured in characterization by Carrey who plays a brooding detective of Euro-placements. The fact that the real murder case was something reported/investigated in the real world adds to Carrey's portrait how sleuth 'consciousness' may mix uneasily with conveniences of jurisprudence and compromise that elicit the complication of the Earthling heart/evil. I didn't appreciate the mostly negative reviews of this unusual film and felt it was screened nicely and smartly mostly and the cinematography was that somber tone matching the eerie tones of the real world story/place too.
While many critics seemed to 'scoff' at this portrait of inventive human passion and sleuth-humilities, I'd rather like to give it at least 3/5 stars for the sensitive 'catch' of the humanness behind the tragedy-proportions of the story; and the gripping realism of the sex/emotion scenes were something like classic Euro-storytelling too. This film did not get the 'onside-knit' I think it should be stated was rather nicely earned (for its artsy-kilns).
