    A Young Daisy Ridley Shines in This Mess
    Let's be honest, Daisy Ridley is the only reason anyone is going to watch this film. And outside of her performance, this film is a straight-up mess. Don't get me wrong, the premises is interesting enough, although it is similar to Death Note. However, the film's excision is a confusing mess that makes the plot hard to follow. Also, outside of Daisy, the acting is terrible. Watching her in this movie is like watching LeBron James play basketball with a bunch of high school students. She is clearly out of her league, and there is no wonder why she was the only one from this film to get famous. What makes this worse is the fact that Daisy doesn't get as much screen time as the other actors. You think the writers would have tweaked their script when they saw she was the most talented actor in the film. I understand this was an Indie movie, but lots of indie movies are able to create a coherent plot with decent acting. My advice is if you liked Daisy in Star Wars, then give this one a watch just for her. If not, then skip it.
