Direct to video release produced and starring Andy Garcia. Also starring Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) and Linda Cadellini (Freaks and Geeks).Definitely a melodrama, slow moving but with some interesting plot points. Vincent Kartheiser is good as the troubled young man, playing both creepy and vulnerable. A young Linda Cardellini is beautiful as always and as anyone who saw Freaks and Geeks knows is excellent as portraying a realistic teenager. She also sings a song. Andy Garcia is a bit subdued but realistic enough in the main role.Overall it's fairly middling. Overly melodramatic at times and the ending is poor. Honestly I enjoyed it mostly because of seeing a few more famous actor's (Kartheiser and Cardellini)in an early role.It's a 2:00 AM on a cable kind of a movie. Not terrible, but not exactly good

THE UNSAID was made in 2001, was released direct to DVD in 2003.After reading the synopsis & that Andy Garcia besides starring was also the executive producer,I was planning to criticise the fact it had no theatrical release in the USA.After viewing this tonight,it is easy to see why it did not have a theatrical run in US theatres.The movie seems more like made Lifetime TV. Nearly all concerned have extensive television credits, except for Andy Garcia.Tom Mcloughlin directed nicely, BUT the story & screenplay did him & the film in.It starts off interestingly for about the first half,seems like it might be OK.THEN predictability & boredom sets in. The ending is almost laughable.This is a pity tho, as cast does very good work. Andy Garcia gives an excellent performance.Vincent Kartheiser was only 21 when he made this & definitely has talent. I have not seen any of his many TV roles,I hope he makes other films & becomes a major player. I do not know any of the actresses in this drama,BUT they all are quite good.The production credits are quite good.If the script was better it would have been a much better film.Take a chance you may like it better than I.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 73 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)

The title of the film is a perfect depiction of what the story is about: "The Unsaid" is a journey full of agony and tension, into the deep-buried and untold secrets lurking in the hearts of Tommy Caffey (Kartheiser) and his therapist, Dr. Michael Hunter (Garcia).Dr. Hunter, who has not completely recovered from the shock of his son's Kyle (Blumas) suicide, is persuaded by a former student of his, Dr. Wagner (Polo), to take the case of a seemingly normal adolescent, Tommy. The young boy, who in the past suffered a deeply traumatic experience by watching his father kill his mother, initially gets along well with his new therapist; moreover, Dr. Hunter himself seems to draw comfort from the boy's presence, as he reminds him of his lost son. However, things gradually become more complicated, as Tommy and Shelly (Cordellini), the daughter of Dr. Hunter, meet and become fond of each other; moreover, Tommy's case is not as simple as it first seemed...The film portrays three troubled characters: Kyle, Tommy, and Hunter himself. The performances by the respective actors, namely Blumas, Kartheiser, and Garcia, are simply superb. Although one might expect such A-level acting by a star of Andy Garcia's caliber, it is positively surprising and very heartening to watch young actors doing such a good job. Cordellini is also very convincing as Hunter's detached and confused daughter, while the rest of the cast remains on a generally satisfactory level.McLoughlin's direction is balanced and well-executed, building up the tension when he should, but without resorting to needless exaggerations."The Unsaid" is overall a solid film that studies the secrets buried inside the human soul. 7/10.

This movie for me was really extraordinary, for a lot of different reasons: 1) I'm a teen ager and the facts of the movie make me reflect 2) the thriller story is rich of suspense 3) Andy Garcia is simply GORGEOUS!!!
