Viewing Notes

Soft 7 out of 10 for this Hitchcockian neo-noir that has an attractive cast and a fun take on the “my wife is missing” premise. Would be a spoiler to note why it’s not a solid 7 or higher but part of the reason -non spoilery - is the super schmaltzy songs used in the film. Just eyerolling terrible.

This did have me thinking how much better executed Decision to Leave is and wanting to revisit that film. But this is still an entertaining movie for what it does well.
