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.

71/100 why didn’t they just do the jobs themselves? lol hand held situations that made for a lack of danger

Bloody awful

8,5/10
