    One scene ruins all

    Tbh I was hooked since the first and I think the casts did good job and the film was shot beautifully. But, there's one scene that happened involving a murder (no spoiler) and the film went downhill afterwards. It's quite amusing actually, but that would easily turned off anyone with two brain cells. Overall, an average thriller that could do much better without that one dumb scene and a better buildup-linking the twist in the beginning.

    Had potential, but crashed

    The characters were likeable enough but some of the plot I didn't like and other parts just outright not believable. Just made me mad near the end.

    An average movie

    Nothing original about the plot. Average story line. Movie was shot really good and decent acting by most of them. You will probably finish off the movie once you start just to see how it ends but in the end there is no sense of satisfaction of a enjoyable movie.

    I regret giving it a chance

    This is one of those times where the movie is primarily unappealing But like usual i gave it a chance thinking it wouldn't be as bad as i thought, And to my surprise it was worse. Very boring most of the time, acting was bad, especially in the conflict scenes and plenty of Netflix unnecessary sexual scenes. Netflix clearly loves these kind of movies no matter how bad it is, (probably a fetish) There really isn't anything to enjoy from this film.

    Not very credible

    Not very credible, common, not very exciting actors.
