I watch a lot of Netflix moves and, this isn't the worst acting I've ever seen as most of the reviews suggest.
It had a good amount of suspense, it felt real...HOWEVER, I gathered some red flags in the beginning of the film. The relationship began to move quite quickly, and I was kinda like "Well, that's nothing new for a Netflix film." So, I dismissed that and continued to enjoy the film. Annnd then starts the trainwreck.
1. What the heck do they mean by "based on a true story"? I beg to differ. Loosely based at most.
2. Some of the characters they added, I thought they would have a big impact later on. Like the dude that worked at the diner. I guess they didn't want him to be the "knight in shining armor," but why make their relationship tight if you're not going to use that later on to your advantage, writers? Sheesh.
^Best friend character could've been booted. Another character introduced and not used properly.
3. Weird message? I thought they were going to say something about racism as they sort of teased it, but in the end they never used that. So it made no sense for that one comment by the guest sargent said to be put in the film. Once again, untied ends, a recurring pattern in this film.
4. That sun thing near the end. This is a spoiler review, but I won't give away too much. All imma say is this, unnecessary. Stupid to say the least. Thought I was watching a fantasy movie for a moment. Could've made it realistic by dragging out the suspense. The mom having a dream? The "changing woman" and the spider? Just, what?
Anyways that's all I've gotta say. *Cons* are all of those listed above, and *Pros* are that the storyline was briefly okay and had potential, and the acting wasn't garbage.
