Punto muerto

I think renaming L'impasse to Fatal Reunion for the English-speaking countries was a mistake as its bland, generic title gives it an uninteresting Lifetime movie feel.

Despite the twists and turns in L'impasse, the way the movie played out was simply dull and uninspiring. Sure, there were loose ends and unfinished subplots, but L'impasse gets a pass because many movies are like that these days. After all, we're at the age where quantity over quality reigns, and the more films the streaming services have, the better it is for their bottom line.

At least the film had some delicious eye candy, such as sweeping scenes of islands and sprawling glistening cities and sea. To be fair, the acting from all wasn't that bad, but the implausible melodramatic script dragged the entire production down.

If Lifetime-type movies are your thing, and you enjoy scenes of sweeping vistas, L'impasse fits the bill. Otherwise, look elsewhere to be entertained.
