“The Apology” (*1/2 out of four) was a sorry suspense melodrama about a woman (Anna Gunn) who is observing the 20-year mysterious disapperance of her daughter when her brother-in-law (Linus Roache) shows up in the midst of a brutal snowstorm with some dark secrets about the past and what led to her daughter’s disappearance. Good performances fail to enliven or enrich the static proceedings; film may have worked far better better as a play instead but as a feature film it’s suspenseless and boring. Janeane Garofalo is wasted in a nothing supporting role as Gunn’s friend. She and others in the cast should offer a sincere “apology” to viewers and their fans.
