Drop

8/10 would watch again, was interested the whole time. Gives me Red Eye vibes, but with a little more mystery.

How are some of the ratings for this so high? Did I watch the right movie? I went in expecting a poor-quality flick. Nevertheless, I gave it several chances, and I'll give them credit for making my brain run a marathon. That being said, everything I thought of was far too sophisticated for Blumhouse. The plot is a disappointment in the worst way possible. It seemed like it was building up toward a decent mystery, but no, it builds up to an empty, overexposed conversation, and the ending, for me, confirms this as an unintentional comedy. I see the potential, but the writing and all-round lack of quality drop the ratings by a mile.

5.2 - I mean, in some ways, meh almost feels too high. Just turn your phone off, lady.

For a 90 minute movie it dragged a lot in the middle, getting overly repetitive. Conceptually this should be pretty solid, but it tries so hard over & over & over to fake you out & be a serious thriller instead of just committing to the absurdity it should be. An overload of camera tricks & whiplash editing helped build suspense early, but it wore thin. And lastly, outside the ridiculous & semi-predictable primary plot, the domestic abuse commentary was insanely weak, & someone needs to teach how to write 5 year olds better.

Most of the credit here goes to Meghann Fahy for a solid lead performance & Brandon Sklenar for a not terrible wannabe Chris Evans performance. The opening act was somewhat suspenseful in its set up & the final action wasn’t bad. It wasn’t close to the worst time I’ve had at the movies this year, but I was a bit hopeful for more.

There are some ridiculous and unrealistic scenes in this movie and the whole plot is questionable. With that being said, it gave the most beautiful rendition of Baby Shark so thumbs up.

Had to check my AirDrop settings after this.

It was alright. Wasn’t what I thought it would be. I feel like it had the potential to be like a crazy mind-fck type of movie buuuut… yea, it def fell short in my opinion
