Dark Crimes is dank and dreary and no fun...
May 17, 2018
A good story gets stuck in a puddle of mood in "Dark Crimes," a film that strays from its fascinating source - a real-life murder case - into a less successful attempt at noir.

A movie that is not just muddled in the conventional ways but down to its core.

A lurid, boring mess.

"Dark Crimes" has Carrey, who seems like he's auditioning for an HBO procedural, but the rest of the movie is motionless when it isn't baffling.

That this exercise in vulgarity was made at all is shameful.

Carrey's quietly exacting, uncharacteristic performance, though not qualifying as a saving grace, hints at some promising new career directions in the same manner Robin Williams successfully tapped a darker side with "One Hour Photo."

[W]e're trying to figure out basic things, like who these characters are, what they're doing ... and why we're watching something so lifeless.

While Jim Carrey delivers a grimly serious performance, the film itself is exploitative, inept and often incoherent.

The cast is game, the production design is impressive and a few surprises await - but even as things heat up, the film somehow remains cold.

[S]tumbles at every turn.

A few words should be said about Carrey's performance: It may be the worst dramatic acting of his career, a charmless cartoon of self-repression.
