 Excellent for any collector November 17, 2008
Abner Ramos Delgado (PR USA)
"This movie had everything you can wish in a film. Good drama, lot of psychological themes. Great characters played by a great actors and actress... The perfect add for any psychology professor in search of a movie for their students to analyze or for the person that like to think about life a bit more... You will not regret it..."
Great Unknown! May 18, 2008

Great movie, very few people have seen.
It stars Andy Garcia (Oceans Twelve), Hayden Christensen (Star Wars, Shattered Glass) and Linda Cardellini (ER, Grandmas Boy)!
The story is gripping and the drama is heavy. Excellent surprise movie for a boring night!
Highly recommended!
A powerfully "who dunit" psychological thriller March 10, 2008
Stephen M. Keohane (MA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Unsaid is one of the most powerfully charged "who dunit" psychological thrillers ever made. It is a wake up call to parents about the problems of child molestation (and the lives it has effects on) -- by so-called "authority figures", including homosexuals and even parents. Andy Garcia is at his best in this excellent movie.

The Unsaid (Tom McLoughlin, 2001)
Here's a rule of thumb for you: any time the description of a piece of media, be it a book, a movie, a radio program, a scribble, what have you, begins with the words "in the tradition of," that piece of media is going to be bad. Very, very bad. Still, I was overly fond of Andy Garcia (before he got mixed up with Steven Soderbergh, anyway), so I had to see this movie. Which is "in the tradition of Primal Fear", according to the box. Ay caramba.
Garcia plays Michael Hunter, a therapist who goes into early retirement after the suicide of his son and the breakup of his family, coming into public only for the odd lecture now and then. After one of them, he is approached by Barbara Wagner (Teri Polo of The West Wing), a former student of his now a caseworker, and asks him to look over the case of a teenage boy who has everyone but her fooled. You know where this is going, right?
To its credit, I did see a few places where it looked as if it were going to veer off into the territory of slick, complex psychological thriller. It manages to avoid doing so, however, at every turn. The film makes regular reference to Thomas (Angel's Vincent Kartheiser) resembling Hunter's son Kyle, and at one point, it looks as if Thomas is going to try and play on that. There's one reference...and then that entire line of thinking disappears from the script. It's as if they tried to do it one way, decided to do it another way, didn't quite get everything revised out of the script from the first way, and then failed to catch the error. At least, I hope that's the case; if it was actually meant to come off like this, screenwriter Miguel Tejada-Flores' heart wasn't really in it. (After checking his recent credits, which include such timeless fare as Darkness and Rottweiler, however, I find I could also be incorrect in that. He could, really, just be that bad.)
There is a rule I have with "In the tradition of..." films most of the time: you're better off watching the movie that the coattail-riding dog is in the tradition of. In this case, the rule holds up. Maybe even better than most times. Garcia isn't enough to save this one. There's some serious eye candy in the triple-threat of Polo, a young Linda Cardellini, and Chelsea Field, but that's about it. * ½
 Don't Let These Other Reviews Fool You!! May 20, 2007

This movie is a boring waste of time. Remember to set your alarm clock before you start the movie! Yes, It could have been a good movie with the cast, but is wasn't. Not done well, but acted well-OK! This movies script should have had rewrite all over it. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't like it.
