Kritika: A Father's Secret
A Father’s Secret is about a father who has a secret! Actually, it’s about more than just that. It’s also about an attorney named Carrie Evans (Willa Ford). Carrie would appear to have everything. She has great hair, a great job, a great apartment, and a great boyfriend. What she does not have is any knowledge of who her mother was. She’s close to her father, however. Or, at the very least, she’s close to the man who she thinks is his father. He’s not actually her father but that’s all a part of the secret.
Carrie is also close to Cagswell Foxx (Daniel Hugh Kelly), the senior partner at the law firm. Cagswell is rich, old, white, and politically ambitious so we already know that he’s going to turn out to be a bad guy. Cagswell has assigned Carrie to defend an oil company in a wrongful death lawsuit.
One night, Carrie is shocked when she receives an envelope that is full of pictures of her undressing. At first, Carrie assumes that it must have been sent by environmental activist, Greg (Aidan Bristow). However, Greg tells her that the picture were sent by Cagswell. Why? Because Cagswell wants to have something on her, just in case he needs to use it in the future…
Carrie decides to take a closer look at the details of that wrongful death case. As she illegally goes though the files in Cagswell’s office, she comes across a picture of a youngish Cagswell with a woman who seems oddly familiar to her. Carrie decides to discover the woman’s identity and soon learns that the woman has been missing for decades. And the last person she was seen with? Cagswell
Of course, Cagswell isn’t just interested in covering up crimes and helping out the oil companies. Cagswell is also running for the U.S. Senate! Do you think all of this could possibly lead to Carrie challenging Cagswell right in the middle of a political rally?
A Father’s Secret is predictable but well-done. Daniel Hugh Kelly is properly sleazy as Cagswell, while Willa Ford is surprisingly credible as a lawyer. The film’s opening montage is especially well-done. A Father’s Secret is full of melodrama and silly plot twists and, in the end, it’s a lot of fun!
