New Life (I) (2023)
4/10
Strong start that falls off into nothing
4 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
New Life is a fairly low budget, medical thriller.

The set up is pretty good. The director lets us think that a young girl is on the the run, we don't know what from. We presume that an assassin/manhunter/detective is after her for nefarious reasons. So far so good.

The plot twists a little halfway through and the movie shows its true colours and then plays out to a rather silly conclusion.

Why was the hunter ill? Don't know. What was the point of her being ill in the first place? Don't know. Why were more resources not thrown at a serious threat to public health? Don't know. How did the dog get it? Don't know.

The more doesn't get explained the more the film loses credibility.
