Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 07/04/2024
3/4
This is a B-movie through and through, but thanks in large part to a deep cast of familiar faces and reliable character actors, it's a solid crime thriller that respects the true-life blueprint of the story. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 07/01/2024
This trashy trawl through a fictionalized version of the “West Mesa Murders" is the kind of dubiously moralizing exploitation exercise that makes Sound of Freedom look like a noble class act by comparison. Go to Full Review Michael A. Smith MediaMikes 08/26/2024
4/5
The film is well cast, with Gibson and Van Holt leading the way. Go to Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com 07/30/2024

An above average take on a true crime. Go to Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (LAist) 07/13/2024
It's interesting, but you have to know going in that the basic case was never solved, and they stay true to that. Go to Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture 07/08/2024
The culprit behind these murders has still never been found, which this screenplay mostly uses as fodder for a bit of psycho-thriller exploitation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David M 07/07/2024 Very good story. Kept our interest. Worth seeing. See more Claudio C @Claudio666 6d Cemitério / Boneyard (2024) Ghosts from the Past (12,395 – 15 Apr 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In 2009, on the West Mesa of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the dog of a resident finds bones buried in the desert. The police find several corpses and conclude it is a boneyard of victims from a serial-killer. Chief Carter (50 Cent) assigns Detective Ortega (Brian Van Holt) and his partner Detective Young (Nora Zehetner) to investigate the case, and the FBI send the profiler Agent Petrovick (Mel Gibson) to help them. Ortega has a niece among the victims but omits the information and becomes obsessed to catch the serial-killer. "Cemitério", a.k.a "Boneyard" (2024) is a crime story based on true events by Asif Akbar. The plot is gripping although the serial-killer is never caught, since shows police corruption, another killer and many suspects. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "Sem Deixar Vestígio" ("Without a Trace") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Ed B @RT91297355 Jan 17 A good crime suspense movie that held our attention with a great finish. Lots of intrigue and misdirection in the plot which is always good trying to work out who the bad guy is. See more Dave C @RT09838700 Nov 9 Really poor casting, with 'Fiddy' seemingly reading everything from a prompter he's that bad! It's clunky, feels tired and lacking authentic energy and desire, and there's no suspense as a result. It's a sad story that could be told so much better! See more Luke G @RT65475343 Nov 7 Absolutely woeful. Incredibly messy film with some horrific acting. See more Gerry G @RT29452133 Sep 8 They used a chainsaw to cut this one.
