4/10
Good cast, messy script
2 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie started off promisingly with an opening teaser that hinted at a very dark story to follow and an attractive cast headed by Katherine Hughes.

Unfortunately the story that unfolded was a slow burn interrupted by clumsy flashbacks and a few stupid plot points. For example, much is made of the Mitch character preparing to offer Hughes an engagement ring, then freaking out when the ring disappears before he can make the proposal, and the open window in the room leads him to correctly surmise it was stolen. But when she tells him she left the window open he forgets all about the missing room, relaxes and makes love to her. Huh?

There's also some lookalike casting of Hughes' former and current bfs that adds to the confusion of the flashbacks. And based on the resolution of the story, the add-on ending is silly.

Will Peltz and Jaime King stand out in minor roles. Both are good at conveying sexy sinister personas with seemingly minimal effort.
