Whilst the idea of another serial killer film doesn't bother me, the blatantly overuse of every b movie murder film cliche by the terrible writer does bother me very much.

Bearing in mind it is a straight to DVD / Streaming service movie, it still falls well below par of that segment of the market that is being currently driven by intelligent film students and people early in their careers who are learning to hone their craft, and.............they are doing it very well!!! Sadly unlike the makers of this movie.

It's a very staid and predictable storyline, no amazing twists and everything is predictable, it's almost like the writers just can't be bothered anymore with the ever growing crop of remakes.......and this rubbish. Come on writers, we your viewing public deserve better!

It is performed by actors that are usually good solid performers, finding them in some TV movies and also some of Amazon Primes best series. The trouble is the director seems to have really got the least out of his performers possible. In fact, maybe the director got the nearest toddler to direct it for him instead. Maybe he used the writers toddler to direct it as their skills seem to be about level after all.

The really sad thing is it wouldn't have taken much to turn this into a watchable movie, even a good one. In it's current state it is definitely one to avoid! Do not waste your hour and thirty plus minutes. Use it for something more exciting like watching paint dry.

Highly unoriginal! The plot is exactly what you get from the description and nothing more.

It is one of those movies that are painfully to watch and you keep checking the run time to see just how much more you have to endure. It really is a test of patience and will, one that I passed barely, with some breaks, checking the phone and rolling my eyes about 100 times.

I simply found nothing to like about it, it's not even so bad it's good, no horror, action, tension, interesting characters, dialogue, just a freaking bone would have suffice. Sadly, no such thing here. And what is happening with Tyrese Gibson, how did he end up hin this one. I don't consider him a good actor but surely he can do better than this. He had made a name for himself.

Anyway, back to Squealer. Such a waste of time really, if any effort was put into this, I don't know where it went. Very dry movie that leaves you with that memorable quote 'I'm not gonna get these 90 minutes back'.

Cheers!

First off, why was Tyrese even in this movie? His role in the movie was meaningless. In my opinion, Tyrese parts in the movie was boring filler. The arrogant role he played was seriously pointless.

Let's tackle the drug addiction part of the movie since the women that was murdered was addicted to drugs and prostituted. The writers could have done better. Some of the women didn't look the part. They did something to their teeth to make them look terrible and called them drug addicts. Lol I'm laughing while writing this review.

Seriously though, their teeth matched the part, but their bodies surely didn't.

The Emergency call doctor didn't play the role right. I honestly think the acting and the scrip was terribly done.

There was nothing unique about the movie. Drugs. Prostitution. Relationship problems. And murders. It lacked creativity and realistic roles to the situations they tackled.

The bar tender was probably the best actor in the entire movie.

Tyrese Gibson talent was wasted in this film. Maybe he should stick to singing. This genre of film i do like, reminds you of classic movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and so many others. But the problem is the budget, it is made cheap and that sets the bar real low. Money and big budgets sets a different standard on how a movie turns out with the viewers. The story and acting sets the tone as well. It could have been so much better, i love Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson and I'm surprised they weren't a leading role in this film, since they have been doing low budget movies for quite some-time.

Peacock has actually made some decent original content. Both TV series and movies. But this was sooo bad. Like embarrassing awful. I had watched some previous Peacock originals and was surprisingly impressed. Then I saw some recognizable names in this movie: Amos from The Expanse, Juice from Sons of Anarchy, Tyrese.. should be decent enough right? Wrong. Have I met the ridiculous minimum character standards yet? No? Ok fine, 170 more to go... The writers must have been fresh college grads because this movie was cookie cutter from the jump. Dialogue was less than amateur. Film lens was cheap. Clearly low budget. Character limit met. This movie sucked.
