Impúdica

Surprisingly bad acting, bad plot, loose ends and I want my 1h36m back. I haven't read it but I can guarantee that the book is better because this movie was a trainwreck.

Brazen is a Netflix movie about a famous murder mystery writer played by Alyssa Milano who moves back home only to face a murder close to her family. A serial killer who kills dominatrix girls and one of them ends up being Milan's sister. The story was very clumsy, I solved who the killer would be in the first ten minutes of the movie. Sam Page who always portrays the love interest in most of the Hallmark Christmas movies is the badass cop, next door neighbor who falls in love with Milano. This was such a B rated movie that I couldn't wait for it to end. Skip this one, don't waste your time.

This is disappointing to watch. We've watched a lot of films featuring Alyssa Milano. And these are good ones while Alyssa is a competent actress. So, watching this film was an unpleasant surprise. The plot is predictable and it lacks that certain oomp and excitement that you'd normally expect from a good thriller or a police procedural. And that love story between Grace and Ed seems so campy. At least, Melachi Nair as Ben made me smile. He's subtly funny in his role as police detective.

The only word I can think of to describe this film is: moist. Due to the subject matter and themes, this film should have been darker and many avenues could have been taken with it, but it reminded me of those basic thrillers you see on Lifetime (or Channel 5 in the UK). So many more twists could have been thrown in. I expect better from Netflix. It didn't have enough suspects, and so it was quite predictable and a little flaccid. I do like Alyssa Milano however, I think she's a good actress and this film was really a waste of her talent. I see it was based on a book which I've not read, so I'm unable to make comparisons, but the book has to be better than the movie, right?

Terrible movie. Terrible writing, acting, pacing. Milano should really just ride the little fame she has from her childhood years and let it be because she's not a good actor. So knowing that, I didn't expect much but it was even worse than imagined. But if you've really nothing better to do, give this movie a shot. You might like it better than I did, but I won't bet on that.
