“The Sin Seer” (** out of four) was a pretentious mumjo-thriller set in North Carolina about a woman (Lisa Arrindell) with psychic gifts who tries to solve a murder with her ex-con partner (Isiah Washington) but finds the path to the truth is a swampy wasteland. Needlessly overlong and meandering with only the good performances of its stars to carry it. Nice to see the beautiful North Carolina scenery as always but the atmosphere is more soggy than sultry. Arrindell and Washinton previously played husband-and-wife in Spike Lee’s “Clockers”, a much more dynamic and visceral murder mystery.
