Julia Roberts Is Out For Revenge in Gripping Trailer For SECRET IN THEIR EYES

Where has this movie been? I don't think I've ever heard of Secret in Their Eyes, but with a stacked cast that includes Julia Roberts, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Nicole Kidman, this looks like a must-see revenge thriller. Written and directed by Billy Ray (Shattered Glass, The Hunger Games, Captain Phillips), the film reminds me a little bit of Prisoners, with Roberts taking on the grieving parent role that Hugh Jackman had in that film. This looks like a hell of an intense story, and I can't wait to check it out.

A tight-knit team of rising FBI investigators - Ray (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Jess (Julia Roberts), along with their District Attorney supervisor Claire (Nicole Kidman) - is suddenly torn apart when they discover that Jess's teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered.

Now, thirteen years later, after obsessively searching every day for the elusive killer, Ray finally uncovers a new lead that he's certain can permanently resolve the case, nail the vicious murderer, and bring long-desired closure to his team.  No one is prepared, however, for the shocking, unspeakable secret that will reveal the enduring, destructive effects of personal vengeance on the human soul.

Interweaving past and present, this deeply layered mystery explores the murky boundaries between justice and revenge, and asks the question: how far would you go to right an unfathomable wrong? 

Secret in Their Eyes hits theaters on October 23rd.
