Review by angelthman

As a filmmaker, I respect a tight, well-executed thriller, and You Picked the Wrong One delivers exactly that. Venus King is sharp, ruthless, and always in control-watching her outmaneuver her captors is pure suspense. Mr. Black is a strong antagonist, and their battle of wits keeps the tension high. For a low-budget film, the storytelling is solid, and the direction makes the most of every scene. My only gripe? I wish Venus had a little more warmth or vulnerability to make her easier to root for. That said, it's still a well-crafted, engaging thriller that does a lot with what it has. Totally worth the watch!
