Didn't keep me entertained, not even for one second
lmnclips27 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Was all over the place with much to unpack and decipher, Commercial breaks felt long than the actual parts of the movie between them as usual with most LTM's, dragged on and on for far too long, and the small snippets of the movie shown during the "Shocktober" promo spoiled Brad's reveal so I knew it was him right away.

At the end when Brad kept swearing on his life that he didn't kill Al, I was expecting some kind of twist. That there was a second accomplice that was behind Al's murder. I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead, the scene changes to the next day when the police finally arrive and I'm just sitting there completely dumbfounded and at a loss of words for how disappointing that ending was! By this point I just refuse to believe that these scripts aren't written by elementary and middle school students. Or people who never made it past the fifth grade.

This was just like that other Lifetime film "Chaos on the Farm" where there was little to no action until the last 30 minutes of the movie where the so called chaos actually began, leading up to an incredibly weak and anticlimactic ending.

I should've known to tune out of the film as soon as NFT's were bought up. Like who the heck thought that this was a good plot point to follow?

Felt bad for the cyclist though. He was just and innocent bystander who was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Very unnecessary death. I also noticed that when the hooded attacker yelled at the cyclist, his voice didn't sound like Brad's. All the more reason why I believed he wasn't working alone and that there was going to be some kind of twist but no.

Also, it kind of annoyed me how all the murders he committed happened offscreen but they had no problem showing his own demise.

This is most likely Rib Hillis's third or fourth Lifetime movie this year. And I don't recall any of those roles not being villainous. Hopefully Hillis will at least star in one film this year where he's not the bad guy. If not already.

Compared to that psychiatrist movie with Jessica Morris last week and this movie. I'd definitely say that movie was much better. Not really worthy of a 9 star rating but nonetheless I enjoyed it even more than this.
