Prayer of the Bone is the full-length feature following the fifth season of crime drama Wire In the Blood. Though it cinematically has that made-for-TV feel, Prayer of the Bone is a fast-paced mystery questioning the guilt or innocence of Darius Grady (Brad Hawkins), convicted of killing his wife, Loren (Nicole Lin Taylor), and two kids, Jake, and Lucy. Chalking Grady's insanity up to the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder he acquired from wartime events in Iraq, Wire In the Blood's star, Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green), is flown to the U.S. from England to examine Grady's mental status, finding discontinuities in the seemingly tied-up court case. Hill takes on Grady's attorney, Ray Decosio (Drew Waters), and Decosio's assistant, Anita Addison (Naima Imani Lett), to discover that Grady has endured some disturbing mistreatments. Based on a Val McDermid novel, Prayer of the Bone paints a heroic portrait of the criminal psychologist that has solved so many cases in previous television episodes. Though some of the drama's characters are specific to the film, Dr. Hill does daily retreat to his motel room to speak by phone to his confidant, detective inspector, Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib), much in the way Agent Cooper dictated to Diane during episodes of the wonderful Twin Peaks. Though Wire In the Blood does offer a portion of the intrigue that Twin Peaks generated in its heyday, Dr. Hill is a much less mysterious character than Cooper, and as the criminal details are revealed plot simplifies quickly. Still, Prayer to the Bone is unique in its topical coverage of veteran syndrome, PTSD, which lends it merit for tackling an important subject matter. --Trinie Dalton
