Movie Reviews of Secret Smile

Movie Review: The Stuff of Nightmares
Summary: 5 Stars

I rented this to see David Tennant in something other than Doctor Who and got far more than I expected to see. For every woman who has ever been interested in a man because he has charm and good looks, this is the argument for taking it slow and careful if ever I saw one. Brendan is capable of great charm, masking the psychotic beneath. The show is at its' best when he's turning Miranda's family against her with a carefully-placed conversation or two that makes you wonder if your own loved ones could be fooled so easily. It twists and turns so many times, but has a satisfying end. I promptly bought it to watch again.

Summary of Secret Smile

"Great cast, led by a menacing David Tennant; nicely shot; carefully directed to build up the suspense." - The Times

"David Tennant was a convincing evil, stalking fantasist... Plotwise, Secret Smile grabbed you by the lapels and dragged you along." - The Guardian

It's all about control

What's the worst that can happen when a new romance goes wrong - you end up with a broken heart and put it down to experience? Not when self-styled entrepreneur Brendan Block (David Tennant - Casanova, Blackpool, Doctor Who) is involved. He's not a man to let go easily - as Miranda Cotton (Kate Ashfield - Shaun of the Dead, Do or Die) finds out in this love and revenge thriller based on the bestselling Nicci French novel. Miranda puts the brief fling behind her, but Brendan is not finished with her yet. Three weeks later, her younger sister Kerry excitedly reveals she has a new boyfriend - Brendan Block.

How far will Block go to get his revenge on Miranda? Convinced that Brendan is involved when people she loves begin turning up dead, Miranda realizes that the only way to beat her manipulative ex-lover is to turn the tables on him. Soon, she finds herself in a terrifying war of nerves with a master of the game. She has to prove he's a killer and she's prepared to risk her own life to do it.

Also stars Claire Goose (Waking The Dead, Casualty), John Bowe (Tipping The Velvet, Prime Suspect), Jill Baker (Shakespeare In Love, Perfect Strangers), Susannah Wise (An Ideal Husband), Rory Kinnear (The Second Coming) and Robert Lowe (The Project)
