Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
sol1218 ***MAJOR SPOILERS*** Really off the wall made for TV flick appropriately named "Walls of Secret" that plods along for almost three quarters of its running time until we finally get an idea in just what the heck it's trying to tell us. There's this young and very attractive couple Mark & Paige Emerson, Dean McDermott & Nicole Eggert, who rent this spacious apartment in the uppity section of Chicago at dirt cheap prices. Right away you suspect that there's something very un-kosher in all this in that the two Mark & Paige are in no financial position with Mark just starting his job as an architect and Paige and out of work, who in fact never had a job before, lawyer to afford a place like that: Six rooms with a double bedroom & two baths plus a king size living room and a spectacular view of Chicago's skyline that would go from between 3 to 5 thousand dollars a month rent on the open market!It's much later in the movie after a few red herrings are thrown in to divert our attention that we soon realize what all this noise in the walls and bump in the night as well as number of murders or tragic accidents to the apartment houses tenants is really all about. It has nothing to do with the supernatural, the apartment house is at first thought to be haunted, but with good old police corruption, which makes far more sense, and murder involving Mark's dad ex-cop on the lamb Hugh Emerson, Stephen McHattie. It's Hugh who's suspected in murdering, by cutting his throat, his police partner a year ago! That's after he was going to report him to his superiors about the mob gambling racket that he was involved in. The fact that the audience has to sit through almost the entire boring movie until Hugh makes his grand appearance and spices things up puts most of it to sleep before the real action starts.****SPOILERS**** Once Hugh comes on the scene things really get going in that he in fact was set up by his boss Captain Milton, Bruce Gary, to take the rap in an illegal gambling payoff scheme with the Chicago Syndicate that Milton and his fellow corrupt cops were operating. It was Milton's big mistake to try get Hugh to come out in the open in order to shut him up or murder him since was no threat to him and his operation anyway. Hugh was a fugitive from justice who only wanted some monthly cash from his son Mark to pay for his food and rent as well as bar tab and the occasional trips he took to the local casinos and racetracks and nothing else. It's when Milton and his fellow crooked cops that included Carrie & Diego, Sarah Allen & Conrad Pia, started to turns the screws on Hugh's son Mark and daughter in law Paige that it brought the fighting Irish out of him. And instead of playing it cool or safe and laying low Hugh came out into the open to settle things. And that he did with sudden and deadly results!
chezjane76 Wall of Secrets - This wasn't a bad movie, but I would've liked to see them expand the female character a bit more; for example have her join a law firm as well as getting involved with the "mystery" involving the people in the apartment building. Or expand the male character by showing him at work a bit more. The director has left it up to the viewer's imagination too much. The male character left Seattle for a supposedly great job in Chicago, but we never saw him in an office setting or interacting with other work colleagues, except for the scene at the cocktail party. Also, I would've liked to see more of a background of the two characters, such as starting off the movie with both of them still in Seattle preparing for the move to Chicago, so the viewer would have more of an indication where the characters were coming from & where they were headed. I believe a scene from this movie was filmed at my son's school and I would like to know where I can get a copy of the movie. I have looked in some stores, but they don't have it. Was it just a made for TV movie or was it also put out on video/DVD? If I can purchase it I would like to know where/how? If it is strictly a made for TV movie, will it ever be on TV again?
mayaro19 On the surface, this movie is entertaining enough. It provides some suspense and a decent plot. However, if you're the type to piece together the information and try to understand the characters' actions, you may be disappointed.The tension is enough to keep you interested but not riveted. The story line could have been better developed to avoid the questions that the deeper thinker will find. The plot doesn't get too complicated e.g. faked deaths, etc. But there are enough lies to at least keep you watching to see if you're right about who's telling the truth. And you probably are.Overall, it works just fine for tame, quiet Friday night entertainment.
GaelinW This has a fairly decent plot idea and a competent cast, but the characterizations are just pure BS.The main character played by Nicole Eggert is supposed to be an up and coming criminal attorney, on her way to a junior partnership before she leaves Seattle and moves with her new hubby to Chicago. Yet, she is beaten and later choked unconscious by a supposed police officer only to wake up handcuffed to chair. Then she finds out that she has been under surveillance since moving into their new apartment. No private moment has gone unrecorded. After all this, she doesn't ask to see a warrant or any proof that these "policemen" are who they say they are? She doesn't protest about her rights having been violated??!?! Not to mention how she has been assaulted!!Just what kind of attorney is she?!?! One you would hire only if you have a death wish and lethal injection sounds like what the doctor ordered
