I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Death of Me" without having even heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it.
It was nice, though, to find out that the movie had Maggie Q on the cast list, as she usually tend to be in some adequate enough movies, so I must admit that I had hoped that "Death of Me", which was listed as a mystery horror/thriller, would turn out to be a good movie.
Yeah, except it didn't...
The storyline that writers Ari Margolis, James Morley III and David Tish had managed to put together made absolutely no sense at all. Sure, for the first half of the movie it was fun enough to try to figure out what was going on, but then the air just deflated from the balloon and the movie went flaccid. From about halfway and on to the end, the movie just made absolutely no sense, and I had given up trying to figure out what was really going on. The entire storyline was just a random scramble of incoherent scenes actually.
The acting in "Death of Me" was fair, and both Maggie Q and Luke Hemsworth were actually carrying the movie well enough. Just a shame that they were severely hindered by what can only be described as an utterly rubbish storyline.
As the movie ended, I sat even more dumbfounded than I did throughout the course of the movie. There simply was no foreclosure or satisfying end to the storyline - or what was supposed to be a storyline.
I managed to endure through this heap of rubbish. And believe you me when I say that you had best spend your time, money and effort elsewhere, because "Death of Me" is just not worth it.
Actually, the cause of death of Christine might just prove to be utter boredom.
My rating of "Death of Me" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, solely because of the production value, the editing and the scenic visuals the movie offered.
