When one here's the name Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective) the first thing that pops into one's mind is generally slapstick, physical comedies and immature, unintelligent characters. It was a gamble then for him to take on a depraved and serious film such as Dark Crimes. The story, as the title would suggest, is dark and some woul... Read More
