While the pacing is a bit long it is better than most of the genre available on Netflix, which is nice. It looks fantastic with HDR and 4K. The script is not bad, but the book it's based on is pretty tropey and derivative in the literary genre scene, so while fun and certainly evokes the tropes people expect from it, I'd say it's also not stand out, either.
Where lots of others have a B plot that doesn't tie in well, this doesn't have that "trap"; another plus. But it also feels like only one of the partners is fleshed out as a character and the killer was more contrived than usual. So it's a mixed bag overall.
I hope this does well enough that they adapt much better source material. Still had a great time with this and would recommend it though. Especially since it's easy to stream, which the best entries of the genre are not. If your Netflix has Trapped, I would recommend that over this. That was really stellar.
