Fated

I always check the reviews when I start a movie and with all the HIGH 9 reviews, I thought I was really in for a thriller treat. No such luck - This is the worst acting I've seen!

This is my first review and I feel terrible that it has to be so negative.

The actress who played MILES' wife and practically all the other female characters made me cringe.

UNCLE LEROY was the best actor on the set.

And all the voices sounded dubbed, which made no sense. If you wanted black voices, why not just use black actors?

It was truly hard to focus on the story because the acting was so horrible.

I don't want to keep repeating how bad it is but you have to use 500 characters.

The acting Sucks! Someone has to have paid for those "9/10" reviews.

I admire filmmakers, especially low-budget filmmakers. To make a film is a labour of love, or should be. All films have merit, no matter how bad they are.

This film's merit is the fact it was made. Everything else about it is ludicrous. The script is weak at best, the acting terrible at best. In fact, the acting is so bad, I felt while watching it was deliberately so, that the whole film was an in-joke.

This is billed as a thriller. It isn't. Thankfully I've just watched it on Prime as part of a subscription so it was free in a sense.

If you must watch it - and in a perverse way I'd recommend it - watch out for the flat champagne scene. The budget obviously didn't stretch to champagne - or Cava or Prosecco. In fact, every scene contains something to be amused at.

Ignore any reviews that praise this film. They have either never seen the medium of film before or are family or cast members - it's terrible.

If anyone reading this review wants to exact real revenge on someone, tie them to a chair and make them watch this - it's abysmal.

The only reason I'm leaving this review is to counter the other, completely false, deceitful, alleged 'reviews' that describe this horribly poor, badly-made film as 'riveting, edge-of-your-seat' etc... honestly, if you want to watch it from a perverse sense of associated morbid fascination-go ahead. It's that bad you may enjoy it for that reason... but that'll be it! Script is so inane, acting consequently awful, plot dismal... honestly, this has all motivated me to help you not waste 92 mins of your life. Now... make your own choice. Oh-I've to write another 60 characters... I'll check back on responses to MY review and look forward to your comments, folks.

I can't believe how bad this film actually is. I don't normally leave reviews but I just had to with this one. None of the actors can act except really badly like they've all been to the same budget acting school. I couldn't finish it as I couldn't bear to watch it's actually painful. A few times it made me chuckle as it was so terrible but then I just felt annoyed with how bad it was. Its one of the worst I've ever seen. I don't know what the other reviews watched cos it certainly wasn't this one. Don't waste your time unless you want a laugh or just to see how not to act in a film. Dreadful really Dreadful.

"Fated" is a thriller that seamlessly blends suspense, mystery, and emotional depth. This indie movie centers around Miles, a successful investment banker whose life unravels after receiving a series of threatening texts. Larry Lowe's portrayal of Miles is both convincing and compelling, bringing credibility and emotional weight to the protagonist. The supporting cast also deserves mention. Emily Tugaw as Samantha and Sierra Keys as Taya deliver standout performances but not all of the actors hit the mark. Some supporting actors fall short of the bar set by the leads, slightly detracting from the otherwise high standards. Overall it's a well-crafted movie that dives into the complexities of hidden secrets and the lengths someone will go to protect loved ones. For fans of suspenseful, thought-provoking movies, this one is a worth a watch.
