[projekktor id=’21985′]

Secret in Their Eyes is a crime thriller written and directed by Billy Ray (Breach). The cast features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Dean Norris, Michael Kelly, Joe Cole, and Alfred Molina.

DA investigator Jess Cobb (Julia Roberts), FBI investigator Ray Kasten (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and Deputy District Attorney Claire Sloan (Nicole Kidman) are rising stars, having been selected to serve on an anti-terrorism joint task force in post 9/11 Los Angeles. Jess and Ray are tight-knit partners who share a deep respect and an easy friendship both on the job and off. Ray and Claire come from opposite walks of life, but have a complicated attraction that is a constant undercurrent in their day-to-day encounters. After Ray and Jess are called to investigate a murder scene, they discover the unthinkable — the victim is Jess’s daughter, Caroline. Ray and Jess join forces with Claire to bring the killer to justice.

“I write movies and I direct movies, but I was, before any of that, a movie fan,” says Billy. “It was really hard sometimes on this set to do my job because I’d find myself looking at the monitor and saying ‘Oh my God, that’s Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor—all in one frame together’. You really have to discipline yourself to do your job around them because sometimes you just become a popcorn-eating, ticket-holding fan.”

Secret in Their Eyes is rated 14A.
