Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Speechless. Everything about this movie is excellent. Worth buying if you don't want to buy then rent.Movie Review: Garcia is what Garcia does
Summary: 4 Stars
Michael Hunter (Andy Garcia) is a brilliant child psychologist / professor who is well respected in his field by his colleagues and his students. Problem is he never expects the suicide of his son. This tragic event rips his family apart sending them all in different directions.
Many years later, after a speaking event for his latest book, a former student approaches him with a case she's been working on. A young man who witnessed his mother's murder by his father when he was younger is about to turn eighteen and potentially be released into the public if approved. After some corroding Hunter agrees to see him.
Hunter is instantly taken with the young Tommy Caffey (Vincent Kartheiser) because of his soft personable demeanour and quick wit. Something about him reminds him of his son. After his visit he agrees to continue seeing Tommy but not treating him. More and more Tommy is meshes with Hunter's memories of his son and soon the lines become blurred.
Things aren't as they seem as both sides are hiding their true selves from themselves and everyone else. As the meetings continue Tommy becomes more and more afraid that Hunter is not going to recommend him for release and develops a plan to throw the doctor off his game.
I really liked this film. Kartheiser is definitely a scene stealer with those poetic eyes that switch from teary to deadly in a heart beat. Garcia is what Garcia does. His dialogue is believable and his heartache palpable. After Tommy's gut reaction at a train station rave where he has a run in with a young woman who wants more than he give the storyline was pretty much predictable but the cast was able to keep it interesting. Definitely worth watching. I will watch it again.

Movie Review: SILENCE NOT SO GOLDEN
Summary: 4 Stars
Andy Garcia gives one of his best performances in this little known thriller. He plays a psychiatrist whose sixteen year old son commits suicide. The opening sequence leading to this is extremely well done, with a disturbing sense of loss and hopelessness captured in Garcia's performance. Three years later, Garcia has grown a beard, lost his wife and daughter, and has given up treating patients. He is asked by former student Teri Polo to look at a young man who is about to be released from a home for disturbed boys. Is he ready to come out into society? Vincent Kartheiser is excellent as the young boy, who witnessed the murder of his mother by his father while a little boy. Inevitably, Vincent becomes involved with Garcia's estranged daughter (Linda Cardellini), and we find out that nothing is quite as it seems. Initially vague about the reason for Kyle's suicide, we find out later the tragic event which led up to this suicide, and we also learn much more about the murder of Kartheiser's mother.
One plot hole that hurts: what happened to Troy, Shelley's brutish boyfriend. Kartheiser shows up with his car, but where's Troy???
Otherwise, THE UNSAID is a gripping, painfully involving movie that is worth viewing.
Movie Review: very good psychological thriller.
Summary: 4 Stars
Andy Garcia plays a psychologist and college professor in this very emotional and griping thriller, I thought that the conclusion was a bit predictable but it was still good and the story was done very well. While atending his daughters play at school Andy Garcia's character arives back at home only to find out that his son has commited suicide which then tears the family apart, Dr. Micheal Hunter soon lives on his own and a couple of years later gets a disturbed patient that has a dark secret. The patient who is a young teenager reminds Dr. Micheal of his own son, there are also alot of twists and turns mainly concerning the patient and psycholigist and the film also stars Teri Polo who plays the part of Barbra Wagner. All the actors in the film did a great job with their roles especialy Andy Garcia who was very believable and the characters were realistic the disturbing secret that gets revealed was a great idea and I hope that Andy Garcia gets more interesting roles like this.Movie Review: A Little Known Gem Of A Film...DEFINITELY Worth A Sawbuck!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE!!!I picked this movie up to rent on a Saturday (as there was nothing else left on the shelves). I hadn't heard of the film, I am not a HUGE fan of Andy Garcia & also wasn't familiar with any of the other actors in this gem, but I have to admit that this film was excellent!
Lots of drama, mystery, violence, psychological games & a great surprise ending. THE UNSAID is highly intense from the get go & has you continually thinking and trying to predict the outcome. Interestly filmed also. I don't wanna give the film away so... I highly recommend this for viewing. What a great price of $[price]. Highly worth a SAWBUCK, I'll tell you that!
