This movie is horrible, boring, weird and stupid. End of review?
I guess I'll say more. I could tell this was going to be bad 15 minutes into the movie. I seriously considered quitting at that point but felt like I needed to give it a chance. Bad decision. It's exactly what I thought it would be.
The characters are ridiculously unlikeable. Don't get me wrong, I can love a character who is a terrible person. I'm all about the characters you love to hate. But these characters aren't just terrible people, they are horribly written with no redeeming qualities. And it doesn't help that they're in a useless story. Nothing about this movie works.
I remember when streaming services were applauded for giving smaller movies a chance to be made. But we've gone so far in the opposite direction that I miss the days when certain movies were never made because... they didn't justify their own existence. This is an example of that. I can't understand who read this script and thought it's worth making. Streaming services continue to value quantity over quality. This movie is garbage. (1 viewing, 4/6/2022)

There is one part I have to mention. During the climax, Don sees Vic trying to hide the dead body in the lake. Surprisingly he does the smartest thing possible. Without saying a word, he immediately runs back to his car to get away from the killer. Wow, nice job movie...
Then he starts driving, for a WHILE, and all I can think is, why aren't you calling the police? They're immediately cancelling the props I just gave for the smart decision to run.
Finally he pulls his phone out. I think, okay now he'll call the cops. But instead... I legitimately cannot believe this... he starts texting his wife that he was right about Vic being the killer. Are you out of your minds? Whoever wrote this should be ashamed and retire from filmmaking.
Of course, the text distraction causes him to crash and die. This is just lazy, atrocious writing. Do better please.
