Never Saw It Coming

I'm old, been watching movies longer than the average person in the US has been alive. Once in a while I will give a movie a 10. Well I really enjoyed this one. I have no idea what the people who gave it very low scores were smoking. So many twists, that at times I was asking myself: "What the heck? Lets just say not many brains were in use during the making of this move. I would grade it as a collection of stupid people, doing obviously stupid things. It will take the police woman ages to sort it all out. Will I watch it again? Most likely in a few years from now. Did like the ending. Justice was not served.

A great mystery writer. As soon as I saw his name I knew I had to give this film a try. Holds your interest right from the start and never let's you go. We'll worth watching.

Don't waste your time! The acting was beyond awful. The characters were ALL completely unlikable (even Eric Roberts' character and I am a fan of his - though he hasn't had a decent role in years...). The only character that earned the teeniest tiniest bit of empathy was the daughter. The other reviewer must be a rabid fan of the author, because the story was not thought through very well and the characters were just flat out stupid.

As a fairly big Emily Hampshire fan sometimes the movies she has been in are subpar and thats nothing to do with her acting ability, it's the plot or the editing. Actors can only do so much with the material they have. Never saw it coming was unexpectedly good. I really enjoyed it. I had only seen the trailer as I don't like to know to much before watching a film. I thought all the acting was really good, the plot was great, the script was also really good. A thriller with some comedy elements is always a good time to me. I don't know what these other reviewers saw but it definitely wasn't what I saw. An enjoyable watch and a recommended watch from me.

Keisha Ceylon (Emily Hampshire) is a fake psychic. Money is tight and she has to do a con with a teen runaway. She has a son and a bad boyfriend. The news is reporting a missing woman. Her husband Wendell Garfield (Eric Roberts) and her daughter Melissa (Katie Boland) are pleading for her return but they're hiding a secret. Keisha sees a new opportunity.

Keisha could be smarter. I figure she would play up her psychic abilities to the cop. That's the cinematic move. The boyfriend is even dumber. He must be the stupidest person alive. The cop isn't that smart either. There is no way she would bring Keisha into the crime scene. This turns from a crime drama into an almost screwball comedy. At a certain point, one must submit to the stupidity of these characters. Then it stops short. The movie is literally short. The ending feels rushed and would help with one more scene. I don't see the assumed motive behind the crime. I like the premise and the start but the plot takes a couple of bad turns.
