 Pretentious and boring... Avoid... February 9, 2010
J. Santos (CA USA)
The problem with movie's reviews is that there is always someone to say a lot of very good things about even the most stupid and disappointing films... I have myself been a victim of that several times... Never buy a movie just because someone here wrote good things about it... Try to read what TIMEOUT for example says about the film...
 Not memorable. January 21, 2010
Wrascal Thomas (CT, USA)
This story is slow and uninspiring. Fans and collectors would probably be interested, but the casual movie goer would be disappointed.
 Murder as an Art Form... December 14, 2009
D. S. Thurlow (Alaska)
Barcelona, Spain, is the setting for 1994's "Uncovered", a murder mystery starring a young Kate Beckinsale as Julia, a art restorer. Her current project is a Flemish painting of a Medievil chess game. She uncovers a hidden inscription, placing in question the sale of the painting and seemingly triggering a series of mysterious deaths.
The plot is loaded with potential suspects, from a greedy art agent to a two-timing boyfriend to a gay art dealer and even a gypsy chess player. The solution is to be found in the recreation of the chess game in the painting, which seems to provide clues to the victims.
The plot will eventually become a little obvious to sharp-eyed viewers, but the movie is worth watching for the way it revels in the setting and its own sense of melodrama. A sharp cast of British characters actors helps carry the movie; if a certain amount of scenery chewing goes on, it is all in good fun. "Uncovered" is highly recommended, especially to Kate Beckinsale fans, as a reasonably entertaining murder mystery.
Turned out good. September 10, 2009
Constancio C. Ecarma (CA,USA)
I like this dvd. Turned out to have a good story line. Was expecting it to be a B movie. I also liked Kate in all her glory. She was and still is gorgeous.
 An absolute shocker January 15, 2009

Not even Kate Beckinsale with her kit off can provide interest in this stilted, ludicrously plotted film. The acting is as scenery chewing as the dialogue is Ed Wood-esque. Kate must have hoped that this one never saw the light of day.
