You Picked the Wrong One

I had the honor of meeting this young man and I think he is on his way to becoming a great actor. This movie had a familiar plot and was well edited. Usually in non mainstream movies the acting is bad. But they did a good job in this one. The female lead made you believe her character. The kidnappers also made you want to smack them for their stupidity. And the male lead character played his role to the tee as well. I loved the part when the woman.....did you actually think I was going to spoil the movie for you ha NOT! I am looking forward to seeing these actors and especially Zeke in the future.

Just finished watching You Picked the Right One, and I've got to say, this movie is a wild ride! Dwayne Alexander Smith really nailed it with this one.

The movie is about Venus King, played by Lauryn Ford. She's married to Damon King, a crime boss played by Camille Gaston. When Venus gets kidnapped by some masked criminals looking for a big ransom, things get crazy, fast. The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch how Venus handles everything.

Lauryn Ford's performance as Venus is amazing and steals the spotlight. She's smart, tough, and totally in control. Maurice Whitfield, who plays Mr. Black, the main kidnapper, is equally impressive. His performance as the tough, calculating leader of the kidnappers adds a lot of depth to the story. He brings a mix of intimidation and vulnerability that makes his character stand out.

The supporting cast is solid too, with plenty of funny and intense moments. The movie is full of suspense and keeps you guessing. The pacing is perfect, and every scene packs a punch. The cinematography and soundtrack add to the intense vibe.

Without spoiling anything, You Picked the Right One is all about not underestimating people and the power of resilience. It's got strong characters, lots of twists, and keeps you hooked the whole time. If you love crime thrillers, definitely check this one out. You won't regret it.

A good thrilling indie kidnap caper complete with the usual idiotic kidnapper gang waving guns and knives but never really seeming to actually go through with their many vocal threats against the kidnappee (Venus King). The lighting and colours are well done and avoid the usual grainy dark scenes found in indie films. The lead heroine (Venus King played by Lauryn Ford) is characteristically sassy and bold despite her situation and there are enough twists and turns in the film to hold the attention of viewers throughout the length of the film duration. Overall it is a fun film, long enough to keep the interest without dragging.

This film is much more intelligent and engaging than a typical kidnapping story. The writing is sharp, and the performances across the board are solid. The battle of wits between Venus and Mr. Black is captivating and full of psychological warfare. Despite being a low-budget film, it achieves a high level of suspense and atmosphere, and its unexpected ending is unforgettable. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys crime thrillers with strong characters, intricate dynamics, and thrilling twists. So if you're looking for a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you thinking long after the credits roll, this is definitely one to add to your watchlist.

This movie was a very smart thriller with a standout original lead character. I've been watching movies of this genre for a very long time and I have to say that this one really surprised me. It's not your basic run-of-the-mill crime thriller. The lead, Venus King, is definitely a force to be reckoned with. From the moment she's taken , you can tell she's always thinking, always calculating, and that's what makes her such a compelling lead character. The writing is sharp and intelligent, keeping the tension high without relying on action or cliches. The performances are solid across the board, especially Mr. Black, who brings an intensity that always keeps the stakes high. The dynamic between Venus and her captors is what really drives the story, and the way power shifts throughout is handled masterfully. It also kept me guessing right up until the every end. For a low budget film, it does an impressive job creating suspense and atmosphere. Definiotely worth the watch!
