> Creepy little thriller could catch the crowd 'between' drama and mystery.
In this 2005 effort, TV's Without a Trace star Poppy Montgomery is Nadine Roberts, a Chicago attorney who travels alone to Tijuana to find her missing sister. The mystery heightens as she receives evasive answers from everyone, including a local police detective (Jose Yenque of TV's Justice League).
Shelf Talk: Shot in the style of a '70s soap opera—every scene ends in the same room where the scene began—this low-budget thriller takes a lot of cues from the M. Night Shyamalan playbook. Between does an acceptable job of creating an aura of mystery and dread, but there's very little danger, despite the discovery of the mangled corpse of a young girl. Though the surprise ending is indeed a surprise, it's not entirely unexpected. Montgomery's fans and undemanding viewers who enjoy police procedurals, mysteries and mild thrillers might be curious to give this well-priced piece a whirl. —Buzz McClain
