bad psychic
19 December 2021
Keisha Ceylon (Emily Hampshire) is a fake psychic. Money is tight and she has to do a con with a teen runaway. She has a son and a bad boyfriend. The news is reporting a missing woman. Her husband Wendell Garfield (Eric Roberts) and her daughter Melissa (Katie Boland) are pleading for her return but they're hiding a secret. Keisha sees a new opportunity.

Keisha could be smarter. I figure she would play up her psychic abilities to the cop. That's the cinematic move. The boyfriend is even dumber. He must be the stupidest person alive. The cop isn't that smart either. There is no way she would bring Keisha into the crime scene. This turns from a crime drama into an almost screwball comedy. At a certain point, one must submit to the stupidity of these characters. Then it stops short. The movie is literally short. The ending feels rushed and would help with one more scene. I don't see the assumed motive behind the crime. I like the premise and the start but the plot takes a couple of bad turns.
