Pacific Standard Time

First of all the main character in this which is trying to be film noir is the home. The view of the city of Los Angeles is spectacular. IMHO I could not believe these two ever went to the same college. Freegood just doesn't seem like a guy who would ever sit in a classroom. Freegood, what kind of name is that. He's obviously Hispanic. Football scholarship? Give me a break. Most love the plot twist. What plot twist? Most say it's unpredictable. This waste of 90 minutes was totally predictable. If you're on Netflix you're much better off watching "Midsomer Murders".

Blood in the Water tells the story of a dangerous love triangle tangled in a web of greed and deception. Willa Holland and Alex Russel star as Veronica and Percy, a young New York couple who have been tasked with care-taking a luxurious L.A. home for the summer. Along comes their old college buddy Freedgood (Miguel Gomez) who comes to them with an alluring but dangerous business proposition. But when the couple learns that Freedgood is looking for more from them than just a little bit of assistance, this leads to a downward spiral into violence and betrayal. Featuring a colorful set and fantastic cinematography, Blood in the Water kept me on the edge of my seat!

Although he has a degree in chemistry, "Percy" (Alex Russell) wants to be a blues musician and spends most of his time strumming on his guitar while house-sitting for a wealthy friend in Los Angeles. On the other hand, his girlfriend, "Veronica" (Willa Holland), is a bit more ambitious and even has a job lined up in New York once Percy relinquishes the house back to his friend. However, she is content to live in the beautiful home with Percy and enjoy the peace and solitude. Things take an immediate turn for the worse when Veronica's ex-boyfriend, "Freedgood" (Miguel Cortez), shows up at the door after serving time in prison and insists that Percy return a favor he has owed for several years. Yet even though Percy reluctantly agrees to help him, he remains suspicious that Freedgood wants something more than what he's asking for. Now, rather than revealing any more, I will just say that this film progressed slowly and, despite its unrealistic plot, it still managed to maintain my interest, mainly due to the ominous overtones and suspense. I also liked the suspenseful turn at the end. Be that as it may, while I don't consider this to be a great film by any means, it kept my attention for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

A young couple house sitting at a very lavish address are visited by an old friend and things begin to turn dark, very dark for the young couple.

Blood in the Water succeeds in creating an atmosphere of mystery, tension, suspense, all wrapped up in an undercurrent of sexual lust. The two main characters Percy and Veronica allow Freedgood, and old school friend of Percy, to visit and stay with them in this unbelievably well appointed house. Freedgood brings with him a past and a current mission that both frightens and intrigue's Percy and Veronica. You the viewer will see the progression of the story through flashbacks.

There is no need to tell any more as this story brings twist and turns in the plot that is sure to keep you watching. My only problem with this flick was at the very end - I didn't understand exactly what happened. Otherwise it's a good suspense story!

After watching the Blood in the Water film, I was thrilled by the mysterious nature of the film that pushed the audience to question the character's motives and left me on the edge of my seat awaiting for the next unexpected plot twist. This meticulously crafted dramatic thriller set in the striking location of a Los Angeles modern mansion paints a sleek and sexy scenery for the chaos that ensues as a shady and suspicious friend named Freedgood pays an unexpected visit on couple Veronica and Percy's (played by Willa Holland and Alex Russell respectively) ordinary summer vacation. Not only do the three become entangled in a manipulative love triangle, but also their greed and desire cause them to betray those who they always trusted. I was completely captivated by the excellent cast of characters, since their chemistry with one another was apparent, and I was seriously impressed with the well-written dialogue that allowed me to be completely immersed in the scene as if I was alongside the characters as their lives are flipped upside down. I absolutely recommend watching this incredible film!
