3.5 - Thank goodness for the final showdown & two of the best kills of the year or this might be my worst movie of 2025.

If you told me this script was completely AI, I wouldn’t question it. It’s an absolute mess. It’s incredibly contrived & unrealistic. A lot of the conflicts seem poorly manufactured. And much of the conversation is just flat & forced. Even a couple of the leads feel like an AI image generator was told to create Florence Pugh & Zac Efron (or maybe Dave Franco?). I mean the villains names are Will and C(s)in. (Also, the “big twist” is completely unnecessary & confusing. Just took any of the prior (incredibly forced) eroticism out of the movie.)

But the ending face-off is actually decently tense, & has two of the best kills of the year as I mentioned, so there’s that.

This movie was fine, but it was also a little disappointing. The movie starts off wild and in your face and you’re expecting that for the rest of the movie and you just don’t get that. My job literally dropped in the beginning and it never dropped again. It has some good moments and it gets good again towards the end, but I just kind of drags in the middle and it’s really predictable as well For the most part.

2 things are true at once. I SOMEWHAT enjoyed it, but its utter dog shit. bad guy was best part. super predictable. meh whatever

this was…
