Review of Role Play

Role Play (2024)
8/10
A feel-good movie.
21 January 2024
This is really a very competently made romantic thriller. The cast do a great job, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good Kaley Cuoco's performance was (I have only seen her in the Big Bang Theory, but she was clearly wasted there). The writing is also good, it's not held-down by any social commentary (which can be good but sometimes feels aggressively forced. It was good to avoid it for this, as I think it would have detracted from the story), and I do feel like this is an original and well-rounded take on a frequently-used story: the "assassin trying to get out" works nicely with the devoted husband and family to take care of. The relationship with the previous boss is again much more interesting and compelling than is typical. This film left me feeling good, and that's rare.
