Web of Lies (2018 TV Movie)
6/10
Like a cheesegrater - glossy but full of holes
8 March 2019
There's a freshness to the staging, the settings and locale that I found appeasing. The actors look pretty -including the male headliner, and all represent the millennial demographic so it seemed quite fresh and easy on the eye to begin with. However there emerged huge sinkholes below the surface - like what seems to be a machine-made screenplay, and stilted dialogue throughout. The plot started to look so transparent I began to wonder about some clever bluff which had me sticking it out to a disappointing vacuous ending. There are so many odd incidental characters (alive and dead) and general story threads not properly developed. Contemporary tech & cultural references, and the relatively high production values keep this lightweight from sinking much further down the rating scale.
