Although his bloke-next-door looks and frequently bare backside have made him a genial sex symbol in his native Britain, Andrew_Lincoln has rarely appeared in anything as gritty and sexually frank as this moody thriller. Part police procedural, part twisted relationship drama, Lie With Me flirts with noir archetypes even as it serves up a dingy, workaday modern London where lies and evasions usually come from the best intentions. A world-weary spiritual sibling of Helen_Mirren's indelible Prime_Suspect character, Lincoln's police detective gets involved with Eve_Best's messy, passive-aggressive murder witness for questionable motives that the screenplay wisely implies rather than spells out. The power dynamics of the bedroom suffuse the entire script, while director Susanna_White keeps the crime-and-punishment elements zipping along. If Lie With Me ultimately proves more satisfying for its subtext than for its actual mystery, well, that doesn't make it any less compelling. Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
