What Keeps You Alive

I hate when people post "boring" as their review because it's usually for some fascinating slowburn well told story. I just cant think of any other title more on the nose for this film. This film just doesn't sparkle. Brittany allens heroine is supposed to have some sort of complex personality but its not ever shown or hinted at so she makes these kind bizarre painfully plot driven decisions that make you cringe. The big reveal of the film happens in the first couple minutes and so the rest of the movie is a sort of slow cat and mouse game but neither the cat nor the mouse are particularly interesting. The villains motivation is just so drab. Its a shame I think a couple more scenes spent digesting the character portraits could have made this more watchable instead I was just thankful went it ended.

I cannot understand all the bad hype over this film. I thought it was very good. From now on I'm gonna take these reviews with a pinch of salt and watch the films and make my own mind up..

This movie had a lot of potential, but eventually stumbles and falls off a cliff. Starts really strong and has some solid cinematography but some of the characters' decisions will have you face palming pretty hard. It's worth watching, but not revisiting. I'll definitely keep an eye on the director, would be nice to see what he can do with a more solid plot

Well, I didn't hate this. I also didn't love it. It was entertaining enough to watch through to the end, but I strongly agree with what others said in the sense that there are several moments where you say, "literally nobody would do that, " or, "yeah.... that's impossible. "

I guess I appreciate the idea of this movie and how it didn't take too long to get to the action. I just think this would have been better suited as a Lifetime movie than a Netflix original.

I watched this without knowing what it was beforehand, initially it seemed to be a pretty poor melodrama, then it transforms into a kind of muddled, messy thriller.

I'd give it plaudits for its ability to surprise, you couldn't accuse it of being bland, I had no idea of outcome or plot. I did really like the twist in the end.

Sadly there are way more negatives then positives, the biggest, being the lack of reality. Not many people I know can fall off a cliff, get up ten minutes later and run through a forest, sadly the absurdities continue right the way through the film.

I was struck by how much Jackie seemed like a cheap rip off of Villanelle from Killing Eve.

It could have been good, but it's all been done before many times, just way better. 5/10.
