Dakota Skye (R) 6.5

Dakota Skye (2008): For as long as she could remember, Dakota Skye has been cursed with a super power. She has the ability to see the truth in any lie she hears. (6.4)

Director: John Humber
Writer: Chad J. Shonk
Stars: Scott F. Anderson, Matt Baker and Eileen Boylan

Truth, lies and teenage love ... heh, we've all seen it many times in movies. Yet, this one has a unique blend of those ingredients. Still, at times, I couldn't help but notice the overplaying of the 'typical full of themselves pot-heads' and the 'bored to death teenagers' in many scenes. The main character's 'special' ability to see through the lies could have been toned down a bit to keep it more in the realistic realm. At the end though, it is a good story. Acting is good, but the cinematography could have been better ... come on, couldn't find a nice setting sun, or brilliant night sky, wide open expanses, etc in Arizona? My Rating: 6.5
