I like Alexa PenaVega's movies, so I gave her little sister's a little leeway here. But it's undeserved. I see this movie is from 2016 so maybe her acting has improved. I honestly have no sympathy for Emma, the protagonist of this story. Without rehashing the plot, sure she's trying to get to the bottom of how her cousin died. Everything is almost too obvious. Her mom and aunt don't speak after her surgery where she got her cousin's heart...I mean, isn't it clear who's involved? She's a teenager in high school, but spends the movie running around w/a grown man who has no qualms about stealing from people and lands himself in jail. The prosecutor side story was so dumb and meant to be a red herring but then they had to deal w/it so they turn him into a not good guy. He was cheating on his wife w/Constance (who we see is not so innocent herself) which is bad enough but then they have to take it further. Pointless. I guess they needed to give the villain a target, but I found it to be a dumb addition.
The dad was the best part of the movie because his light-hearted demeanor removed any seriousness or thriller undertones from this movie. There's less than thirty minutes left and I'm FFing through to the end. It's so painfully obvious who the villain is.
I also like how the detective in this story picks up evidence with her bare hands. It's also supposed to be a good thing that instead of the high school football player who is a little socially awkward who she deems as part of a life that "isn't her," she ends up with the delinquent who has no problem committing crimes. Brilliant.
Also can we just say that of course for the sake of the movie, we have to hear the villainous confession, but no lawyer would advise ********* to spill their guts like that.
