... for Tubi that is. Felt like scrolling through my favorite streaming service, and came upon this gem. In all expectancy, I watched assuming any minute to be berated by horrible acting, middle-school theatre esque lighting, and all around dreadful plot lines. I was pleasantly surprised. The acting, especially on part of the young lead actress, was pretty good. I didn't feel as if I were watching a cheap soap opera, despite the dramatic tendencies the script leaned into.
It's a story of conspiracy and subversion with only a main cast of about five people. Generally such a small cast for a mystery film is a terrible idea as most audience members will have been able to figure out everything well before the final act. To be fair (Tubi fair) I did figure out most every twist the film through at us, but that's not to say I didn't find it surprising or uninteresting. Part of the fun was seeing how the filmmakers were going to get from point A to point B, which while that doesn't make much for an impactful or introspective film, it does make for an entertaining watching experience.
I'd recommend watching with friends.
