My rating may have higher if it was not for the baffling ending.

(2020) The Killing of Two Lovers DRAMA

Edited, co-executive produced, written and directed by Robert Machoian that opens with David sneaking through a window and pulls out a gun pointing at a couple of people lying on bed, before he escapes through the same window. And then as the movie continues further, we then find out that the couple David was thinking about using his revolver on is his wife, Niki (Sepideh Moafi) who he has separated from and her current lover, Derek (Chris Coy). And upon David sitting in his pickup truck, he follows him a soon as he sees him leave. For awhile and driving halfway, David stalks Derek halfway through the highway, and then decides to drive back to his four kids again, to make sure they are going to school. Three of them made it to the school bus, while David's oldest daughter, Jess had plans to skip school until he stops her.

The small community feel was well made but I did not appreciate the sudden departure of Niki's former lover. Like, suddenly he became not a factor anymore even though he assaulted David. David would have been justified to shoot at him, as Derek was trailing David after the bloody assault. It would have made things a lot easier if the police were involved. Former boyfriends don't just accept their departure like that, like they suddenly did not not exist.
