REVIEW:
The director Michael Scott and crew brought a reckless-thriller. The mystery starts when a wealthy elderly man dies and leaves his estate to the caregiver. The storyline lacks the effort of adding the intensity, and the unraveling felt very transparent, making the thriller to a minimum. The reveal was easily predictable, I dislike when the narrative tries so hard to force one on looking in a certain direction when it is always not the obvious one. There are many thrillers that use the same tactic but they hide it better. Even though the movie is not a good thriller, it was not a bad watch and it entertains at the simplest level.

The composer James Jandrisch made a piece of good thriller music and yet didn't thrive enough to give suspense in the story.

The actors' performances were well-acted and sometimes the main actors Camila Mendes and Jessie T. Usher, acting skills felt like off I can't quite put my finger on it. They did a good job but not perfect to give them an appraise of their performances.

Final Score: [5/10]
