I don't understand why this movie is only rated a 6. Everything about it is stellar. The performance, the writing, the characters, the plot. Stellar and deeply affecting.

I am going to keep it short.

If you crave a classic film noir that is a notch above the usual B movies, then this is for you.

It's 2022, we are 2 years into 2 weeks to flatten the curve, and this movie has aged pretty well. A lot of conspiracy theories have come true. A lot of people previously thought of as crazy nutters are now seen as prophets.

Saw this movie when it first came out, and enjoyed it as an escapism sort of thriller, something to make my life more exciting for a couple of hours.

I decided to watch it again, and though the element of surprise is gone, it was an even better, more visceral experience.

This movie, you will either hate it, or you love it. I am willing to bet your reaction will be based on how you feel about what's currently happening in the world.

I have very low expectations for Hallmark movies. I only watch them as an easy, stress free and lighthearted alternative to the intense, bloody, scary and nightmarish TV news and shows. They usually play in the background of whatever I am doing at home, cooking, surfing the net, cleaning etc... However, this movie had such a good script and clever dialogue, it grabbed me fron the start and I actually sat down and watched it. I loved it! Yes, the story was predictable, but when you have a well written script and great dialogue, who cares? The cast of characters was easy on the eyes and pleasing to the ears. I am adding this movie to the list of movies I will watch once a year for the rest of my life.
