I'll be honest, I caught this randomly on Prime and thought it would be great to have on in the background while I was working from home. 5.0 rating with no famous names attached, maybe I'll catch an occasional cheesy line that will distract me for a moment and elevate my mood from the mundane situation of working from home.
However, the realistic dialogue is what first piqued my interest. Every conversation and situation seemed practical, and no character in this film makes ridiculous decisions out of the ordinary considering the scenarios they're in. It was actually quite well written and avoided the hokey tropes that I expected.
Sure, the production value isn't A-level for Hollywood, but I'm writing this review to give kudos to a team that was most definitely under-appreciated for actually producing an interesting and engaging story. It's actually a good watch and has a solid ending. Not a masterpiece, but definitely better than a 5/10 rating! Solid 7 considering the level it was produced at.
