The beginning of "Magnum Opus" was intriguing and showed promise. Sad to say it never went anywhere. I was as confused at the end as I was at the beginning. Nothing was explained or resolved. There was a drop (or was there), a USB (that contained what), a person called Alice (who may or may not be one of the characters we've seen in the movie). I'm not sure who were the good guys and who were the bad guys and who worked for whom. It was decently acted, but poorly written. Never heard of any of the actors in the movie except for Broadway's Norm Lewis who was wasted in the only two scenes he was in. Perhaps I'm dense, but little in this movie made any sense to me.

Magnum Opus is a strong and powerful movie. I was particularly impressed with the strong and believable characters as some films of this type draw on clichés and stereotypes. Without good writing and direction the plot lines could have been confusing, but they too were very well executed. Well worth streaming, and in fact, I'd watch it again.
