Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Truth About Charlie
Regina Lampert (Newton) is thinking of divorcing her husband Charles while on holiday. She meets an intriguing man named Joshua Peters (Wahlberg) who seems interested. Upon her return home, she finds her apartment bare and deserted. A police officer startles her and escorts her to identify a dead body. It is her husband. What is going on? Missing diamonds her husband stashed is what several people appear to be after and will do anything to get, including the mysterious Peters – or is it Dyle? And they think she knows where it is.
