At least, Malta is is beautiful
This thriller wanted to be too many things: a romantic story, a mystery ,dancing entertainment, and a showcase of Malta's attractions. The mystery action is choppy, with two sleuths that seem far too distracted, flirting or dancing, to devote their attention to serious investigations. Of course, there was not enough time to highlight Malta's scenery with sufficient depth.
The premises, themselves, were farfetched. A flighty and arrogant dancing teacher who transforms instantly into a detective and a 'tenacious' detective who has never danced in her life and masters various dancing styles, to a competition level, in a few days. The results are a somewhat forced love story and an insipid thriller, interspersed with almost painful dancing acts and a few snapshots of the island.
Thankfully, whatever seen of Malta was beautiful.
