The Deal

I kinda expected, going in, that this would be an interesting movie, if not particularly 'good', and probably kinda predictable...and to a point it is kinda predictable, I guess, but it's still well worth watching.

The cast are all pretty solid, especially Emma Fischer as Analyn, and the story is actually really good, even in the over-crowded area of post-apocalypse society/over-bearing government/etc movies/ Like, it's not particularly different from most of them insofar as the overarching story - "society collapsed due to **INSERT EVENT**, the new government rule with an iron fist, the haves vs have-nots divide is worse, our hero/ine must escape to a better life" - but it excels in that they really are just trying to get to a better life rather than take down the corrupt rulers.

And that ending? Pretty damn good indeed.

This was a great movie. I enjoyed how it focused on a relatable mother and daughter relationship. Beautifully captured, well written and great performance by all. Well done! I was impressed by the production value. I'm normally not a fan of sci fi movies or dystopian type of movies but this one I was intrigued and kept interested in the story. Rooting for the mother and daughter. Super creative way of handling a post pandemic world, handling government overreach with the decisions we make as a society, the love we have for our loved ones and what we would do for them. Overall, I enjoyed it and would watch again.

Scifi / Thriller ?? What!#? This is nowhere near anything resembling sciencefiction. Nada. Nothing. Nor is it any way, shape of form the least bit of thrilling.

The bad: this is simply another cheaply produced television production and a really terrible one.

Perhaps what's best about it are the ridiculous hair styles of the characters. The bad guy really looks silly and is a total laughing stock. And this character has got to be taken seriously. Not meant to laugh at the "bad guy".

Not any good at all? Nope. It's just a shame they somehow got to promote this dreck to a "movie". At best it should be shown during daytime television competing with the Home Shopping Network and I will choose to watch the Home Shopping Network instead of this inferior product called "The Deal".

Loved it!! Rewatched few times now.

A mother who makes the only decision she can to save her daughter. Accepting her fate & try to prepare her daughter for the inevitable. A daughter angry at her mom for making the decision in the first place. Angry at the world.

This hit home for me. Reminded me of my mother's sacrifices. My anger at her due to not understanding the reasons why.

The chemistry between the two actors was phenomenal. It made me laugh couple of times, tear up many times, and even yell at the TV. And just when you thought you knew where the story was going, BAM! It hits you side ways.

What would you to save your loved one?

Highly recommend!!

This was better than some science-fi blockbusters with famous actors... The dystopian world is not new, but the protagonists are a mother and her daughter. Never seen. Their relationship, their decisions are different.

The story is interesting... and not ordinary: the escape doesn't go has we all expected and this opened the door to an end that we couldn't guess. This was the weakest part and that's why I didn't give the maximum of stars. But it is difficult nowadays to find surprising endings, all has already been used.

The actors are all convincing, and not overplaying.

No useless scenes.
