Where the Truth Lies (1999)

A controversial political candidate is murdered. His deaf campaign manager is accused. Her trial becomes an event that will ruin lives and open old wounds. Revelation of a shocking past becomes the pivotal twist of the plot.

Where is the Closed Captioning????

This movie is entertaining enough to hold your interest. I purchased it to show my students who are deaf, but to my dismay- there is no closed captioning! This is unacceptable! They make a movie with an actress who is deaf and then they don't caption the DVD for other individuals who are deaf to be able to access the content?! I was very disappointed- and very tired- after I had to interpret the entire film for my class. I hope the "powers that be" will remedy this soon. April 21, 2008

Suspenseful Murder Trial

Take a murder and throw in deafness, old flames, jealousy, maintaining a perfect trial record---and you've got a good movie. That this movie does.

A deaf witness, a jealous, ambitious wife of son of Senatorial candidate, potential funds comingling, old romance between Prosecutor and Defense Attornies-- makes one think all the time at potential subplots and outcomes.

For sure I was into the wife of Russ doing the murder, but knew that was too obvious---it had to be someone else. Won't begin to give that away for those who haven't yet seen. Ending was surprise that took me off guard.

Acting was good all around. Martin is excellent. May 6, 2004

A note to subtitle/caption users

Given that this film stars a deaf actress and that I had seen this movie on Lifetime TV with captioning- I had no reason to suspect that the dvd would come WITHOUT CAPTIONS. As a deaf viewer, I was severely disappointed in this product. The film itself is good entertainment- but what's there to enjoy if you can't understand the dialogue? April 3, 2004

Very suspenseful!

This movie can be described as a mix between a John Grisham story and a Perry Mason mystery. I never knew where the story was going to turn! The acting by Marlee Matlin and Regina King was superb. These two women kept the story believeable and enjoyable to watch. This is one of those movies that you will want to watch twice (once you know how it ends)!! August 5, 2001

GREAT SUSPENSE!

I saw this movie on Lifetime TV and I would have never guessed that the ending would have been so unexpected. I can't wait for this movie to come out on video. All I have to say is that you need to watch this movie. Marlee Matlin is as convincing as can be. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. Regina King, who you may have seen in "Jerry Maguire" as Cuba Gooding Jr.'s wife, is fantastic in this movie as a lawyer. She is one to watch! July 27, 2001
