After watching this adaptation, based more in Cruel Intentions than in the actual novel, I'm entitled to write my own conspiracy theory about why Netflix keeps on releasing these outrageously bad flicks. Tall Girl, For Jojo and Marmaduke were not enough?
If Netflix really wants to survive, it should return to the pre-pandemic efforts to offer quality, but is doing the contrary with this adaptation. 0% in Rotten Tomatoes, for God's sake (compare that with the 94% of the original Dangerous Liaisons). The acting? Ella Pellegrini as Vanessa makes Cruel Intentions's Sarah Michelle Gellar look like Sarah Bernhardt. Overall, it's an agony to reach the end but if you're gonna criticize something you have to sacrifice yourself, and why? To tell you, people who hasn't still watch this, just skip it. It doesn't deserve a chance. Actually, I think Netflix is looking for the way of getting rid of its 9 billion debt... by filing for bankruptcy.
