This movie was trending number 1 in SA when it was released on Netflix
follows a financially struggling couple pulled into a web of mysteries after the surprise inheritance of an employer’s house. Cue the ‘da da daaaa’ music.
What I love the most about these mediocre mystery TV movies are the plot twists. They exist for the sake of itself, and this movie spews them forth like a machine gun. This person isn’t who you think he is, that one has a hidden agenda - oh wait - it’s REALLY not what you think, let’s backtrack a few scenes to your original assumption.
Luckily the cast knows what they’re in for - they all give the minimum performance required. Not too bad to tarnish their reputation but not too much to make them comically stand out in the banality. Even director Michael Scott and writer David Golden know what they got paid to do - both veterans in the TV movie industry - and if you go in with high expectations that’s your own damn fault.
I hated the cheapness of the film - but I will never begrudge people who enjoy these kinds of empty-headed filler movies . I love a saucy reality show, so I’m not going to lord some holier-than-thou self-importance over this trash movie that some critics love to do. The real question, however, that should be asked with a movie like is whether or not we still need these paint-by-numbers TV movies in the streaming age? TV has grown bigger and better, and looks like it might eventually kill the dinosaur that is cinema.
