When I stumbled upon this 2024 thriller titled "Lethal Love Affair", I have to admit that my first thought when seeing the cover was: 'probably another movie from Maverick Entertainment'.
Lo and behold, it was indeed that. As soon as that ethereal white horse came galloping across the screen, it was indeed Maverick Entertainment. And with that, I have to admit that my expectations to the movie went from slim to none. So why watch it? Well, on the off-chance that the movie would break the formula of crappy movies that Maverick Entertainment has been spewing out.
Writers Joyce Fitzpatrick and Brian Shackelford put together a fair enough script and storyline, which certainly was a step up from the previous rubbish of storylines that I've seen from Maverick Entertainment. So thumbs up for the improved writing here.
I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is actually something that spoke well in favor of the movie, as it is something I do enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in this movie was also more professional than in many previous movies from Maverick Entertainment. So that was a step in the right direction.
The production level in "Lethal Love Affair" is a major step up for Maverick Entertainment, as it actually looks and sounds like a proper movie, whereas their previous movies have been of questionable production, often looking, feeling and sounding home-made and amateurish.
"Lethal Love Affair" was definitely an improvement from Maverick Entertainment, and it was a watchable enough movie for what it was.
My rating of director Brian Shackelford's 2024 thriller "Lethal Love Affair" lands on a five out of ten stars.
