Movie Review: The Great One That Got Away From Major Theatrical Release
Summary: 5 Stars

The Unsaid shows the beauty and compassion of one human being trying to reach out to another in desperate need and at the same time the flipside of the darkest corners of the human soul and fragmented psyche. One taboo subject in particular is at the heart of the subplot or twist !

Garcia portrays a psychologist/therapist who grieves over the suicide of his son in painful silence. A few years later he reluctantly takes on a case to help another boy in dire need of therapy after his mother was killed by his father. He takes the case after the urgence and insistance of one of his former students who is now a case/social worker. The social worker strongly feels that Tommy is not ready to be released into the real world for she fears the worst; Tommy is hiding much pain and anger. Also, to what lengths will Tommy go to to be released from the boys' center he had been placed in ? Soon, into the story the viewer begins to question who is actually helping or manipulating who as you will find out that Garcia's character is also in need of therapy and counseling ...

However, I was able to pickup and guess exactly what the horrifying secret was that Tommy had buried or wiped out of his mind (there are subtle clues). Does this make The Unsaid predictable? Not in the least because even if the viewer figures out what it is before it is actually revealed, the film has so much going for it that it won't matter...Need I mention that the acting is stupendous from the main characters !

It is a great pity that this film was not released into "Hollywood" mainstream theatrical release. But, then again, The Unsaid is anything BUT mainstream. It is pretty cerebral and emotional. As a guy I am not ashmaed to say that a few scenes put a few lumps in my throat (so, I got veklepmft in my schinetezoid, big woop)...The main thing is is that this is one I highly recommended to my friends and family. It is there currently in any good video and reputable video store...However, since it is a limited release sleeper you may only find VHS copies as I did as most video rental places I went to did not order or put out the dvd versions (what else is new when you gotta make room for the popular mainstream titles)...
