POSITIVES…
This movie’s plot is one of those human interest stories that reliably plays well.
The mystery that gradually escalates as the movie goes is surprisingly more intriguing than expected. I was entertained by the rabbit hole that is this story.
There’s a reason this movie is called “Dangerous Lies” and I like how the themes and plot turns of lives up to that.
Good primary acting leads in Camila Mendes and Jessie Usher, as Katie and Adam. How their characters react to their situation in this movie is very fascinating. Sasha Alexander is also excellent as Detective Chesler.
Don’t know if it was because of my HDR TV or not, but this movie comes off very colorful. The colors just POP!
NEGATIVES…
As perfectly fine as the story is, I can’t help but admit that it still plays off a bit like one of those TV crime drama.
Moves at a very leisurely pace, and the 96 minutes run time actually felt longer than it had to be.
Some people might get easily frustrated with some of the decisions made by the characters in this movie.
It’s easy to say that the plot turns and plot reveals are very contrived and too coincidental.
The final act kinda felt like such a predictable dud.
P.S….
