“The Lies We Bury” (** out of four) was a contrived suspense melodrama about a young lawyer (Kyla Nova) who investigates a long-buried murder case involving someone (Doug Noble) who she believes was wrongfully convicted but soon finds this unearths a multitude of repercussions and problems that puts her and everyone she loves in grave danger. Slickly made and put together but riddled with plot holes and cliched story fragments from “A Time To Kill”, “The Chamber”, “The Lincoln Lawyer”, and many other (and better) movies. Nova is sincere and strong in the lead but this one will still likely be “buried” and forgotten soon.
