O Preço da Ajuda

Terrible script, cliched story and uncharismatic C-grade actors makes this so called thriller flat film with lame the end.

I have started this review a few times now trying to think of something positive to say. But I can't. This movie was terrible from start to finish. And I hate reviews that simply just say terrible or great without going into a bit of detail as to which part and why. But this movie is simply terrible in every aspect from the writing, the casting, the set, and the filmography. Actually wait. The part where Lance (Jason Deline) gets out of his car and the shot from the ground up and catches the flags and sun is a good camera shot. But thats it. The actor playing Max an only pray that every trace of this movie is erased and no future casting directors at home wind of his involvement and he would be wise to leave it off of any resume. As for everyone else. I mean less than mediocre acting and character development. The budget for this film I'm guessing was lower than what the deadbeat tenant owed in rent. And I'm guessing the majority of that was spent on the Tesla rental and the $5 Walmart Kicks they tried to pass off as some amazing trendy high class designer sneaker. I guess I will leave it there.

Poorly written characters - poorly plotted story

totally wrong casting for the overly needy man and for the supervisor at her office

aside form a dragging script, it was so poorly constructed on so many levels

Karen (Michelle Borth) is a widowed single mom having trouble connecting with her boy. She's desperate for a promotion at work and needs back rent money from her tenant. She steps in front of Jeremy (Mark Rendall) during a robbery and probably saves his life. He's a mentally disturbed cyber-security expert and he becomes obsessed with his savior.

This is pretty good for a TV movie. The writing could be better and the production is strictly TV level. As with this type of movie, the audience is always ahead of the character and one does see Karen's failings. She should report her tenant missing to the police. It's obvious that the other kid stole her son's shoes. She needs to say something about that. Aunt Sophie's sudden drug issue is suspicious, to say the least. I was expecting a past history of drug use but the movie digs up a different past history. There're a lot of red flags here but non of them are so outrageous to be disbelieved. A smarter film would deal with all that in a better way but this still pretty good for a TV movie.

What seemed to be a good movie ended very badly, with lots of threads not being pulled together. 1.23 viewing time wasted don't bother
