Description: When a wealthy elderly man (Elliott Gould) dies and unexpectedly leaves his estate to his new caregiver (Camila Mendes), she’s drawn into a web of deception and murder. If she’s going to survive, she’ll have to question everyone’s motives, even the people she loves.
Review: A young couple tries to keep their head above water financially, when they are dealing with unemployment and college debt. When they suddenly inherit the fortune of a wealthy man, these problems seem to be history for Katie and Adam. But this is only the beginning of much more misery. Greed and murder lurk at every corner and nobody can be trusted.
After a strong opening, the film looses its path. “Dangerous Lies” never manages to get pass superficiality. And it seems like the leading couple was only cast for their looks, because their acting is terrible. But who can blame them, with the dialogues they have to work with. They sound like they were stolen from a soap opera that didn’t air.
The plot is such a mess, with nonsensical plot twists that follow each other in a fast tempo. The film lack tension and is overall very dull, which is pretty bad for a thriller.
The film looks good with the beautiful settings, but is completely meaningless and superficial.
Rating: 1,5 / 5
