My Last Movie of 2005 Could not Be Worse, 31 December 2005
3/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In Los Angeles, Dr. Sarah Hathaway (Anne Archer) hired private eyes trying to find her missing son, the painter Thomas, who ran away from their home ten years ago after a quarrel with her. She finds a clue in a catalog of a panting exhibition in San Petersburg and she decides to travel alone to Russia to search for Thomas. Once there, she is not able to locate him and she has a nervous breakdown, but with the support of Dr. Ivan (Gregory Hlady) and helped by a street boy, she discloses what happened with her son.

Today I have seen "The Iris Effect", but unfortunately my last movie of 2005 could not be worse. I was attracted by the beautiful places in San Petersburg and a promising summary on the cover of the DVD, but the story has an awful flawed screenplay and development of the characters being almost surrealist so absurd and incredible it is. I really hated this movie and I do not recommend it to anybody. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Busca" ("The Search")
