An unusual mix of Lifetime themes prostitution technology and amateur detective work draws the viewer in.
College girl witnesses a hit and run that's seems less accidental. Later she needs money when her scholarship gets pulled and then she invents a dating app.
There are some salacious elements she has to navigate as she develops the app. Prostitution muddies the waters as she discovers some girls are using her app to get clients.
Some of the dialog is stilted and the direction is awkward. At the same time she tries to solve the hit and run.
Ok for one watch.

This Lifetime offering is an example of movies trying to empower women and to be p/c.
The result is like being lectured.
Many scenes were too long and preachy.
The lead character did a good job...she's cute and Canadian...but, and this is a personal pet peeve about the film industry that perpetuates the "thin is beautiful" narrative, skinny jeans on a "too thin" actress is not a good look.

University student Trina (Alyssa Lynch) witnesses a girl she tutored getting run down in the garage. She thinks that the girl was targeted, but nobody believes her. She's losing her scholarship money. She decides to launch her dating app with her friend Zach for the money. Someone steals her phone and breaks into her apartment. She discovers that some of her friends are actually call girls by night including the dead girl. She is further surprised that the app is being used for prostitution.
The movie is going rather slowly. The writing is a bit clunky. The lead girl is not the most compelling. She looks like a skinny model. Her acting is sour and stiff. It may be the film's fault, but she's not good either. The filmmaking is so lackluster. The story has a few holes. It adds up to slow moving Lifetime watch.

Everything about this entire production is horrible, but actress playing the main character seems to be the worst actress EVER! Don't waste your time with it.

I thought Tatyana and the actor playing the Dean (he almost always plays a sleaze on Lifetime and occasionally on Hallmark) would lend some legitimacy to this movie.
By the 50 minute mark, nothing has really happened, and it feels like they are still setting up the movie. The lead is boring and nothing about her makes me want to finish this. I usually get to a point with these movies that it's almost too late to turn it off, but again, I'm an hour in and nothing is happening. I don't need nonstop action, but that sense of suspicion and intrigue is missing from this majorly.
Not even sure why they have to be in college. She doesn't even end up converting the app into something she could use to help herself and her mom with income. So the app was basically a pseudo-Macguffin.
Also, I agree with another contributor. Trina had a phone call with her mom and I swear it was like the script was trying to see who could sound the most virtuous. It was a bit much.

I have good advice for Alyssa Lynch. Young lady, you cannot act for poop! You are still young. Go back to college and get a degree in something useful. Acting is not for you love!
