Running time: 92 minutes
Summary: In Providence, a husband and wife die in a botched robbery; we see flickers of his last memories. His heart goes to Terry Bernard, a single father raising a girl with a rare degenerative disease. After the operation, Terry has flashes of memory from the last moments of the dead donor's life. Then, he recognizes one of the donor's killers and follows him into an alley. Within days, Terry becomes an unwilling avenger, with a police detective on his trail. Meanwhile, he begins a romance with his daughter's doctor, his moods complicated by memory flashes, the donor's deepening presence in both Terry's mind and body, and the unexplained bond among the donor's killers. Can this end well?
Review: Somehow this movie slipped beneath my radar and I discovered it after a desperate scrounge on my hard drive for something that we haven't seen yet. And what a wonderful surprise!
Tell-Tale was such a nice little treat. Not too long obviously, and full of familiar faces and plot twists to keep you interesting for it's duration. Josh Lucas does a pretty good job of carrying this movie as our antagonizing protagonist, surprising because the only other thing I remember him in was Sweet Home Alabama (upon further investigation I discovered that I would also have seen him in timeless classics such as Stealth and the 2006 remake of Poseidon).
Anyway, if you find yourself at your local video store and think you have seen everything worth seeing, pick up this little number.
Rating: 7/10 nestability
