According to Netflix this is a thriller... no it's not! As identified in other reviews it's a tale of two halves. The first half is a pretty decent thriller with enough jumpy moments to be interesting, then everything goes bad... in terms of script and acting too. Worst of all it suddenly becomes a 3rd rate slasher movie completely unnecessarily. Why can't script writers be more intelligent and why can't Netflix rate this as a horror movie at the very least.

Sage is a car thief who inadvertently steals the car of a serial killer, who then pursues her. She's had a tough life and is quite the tough cookie as a result and knows how to take care of herself. The cat and mouse chase that ensues is predictable, if still entertaining enough to watch. Sage's relationship with the cops (good cop, bad cop)is stereotypical of the movies with the rookie being overly dumb for a detective and not very convincing. The "experienced" bad cop is blind to evidence and annoys as a result.

Filmed with typical Canadian style on location in Montreal, it has some endearing qualities, one of which is that it uses Hitchcockesque inference so there are no seriously gruesome scenes, so it shouldn't give you nightmares.
