1.5/5
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A father daughter duo, played by Jason Mamoa and Isabela Merced, decide to take on big pharma after they raise the price of a lifesaving drug which leads to the death of the family matriarch.
All of Netflix’s action thrillers are the same. Bland confused and poorly written: it almost feels at this point like they are allowing a machine to write these films using a very basic formula for inspiration. Needless to say it is holding these films back.
I didn’t really feel any sort of emotional connection to the characters, though I did feel the film going out of its way to try and make me care. If anything I would say we don’t get enough time with the happy family unit to grow attached to it before it gets ripped apart.
As a thriller or ‘statement film’ this film has nothing new to say. The message of ‘geez isn’t big pharma bad’ has been one that is often spouted and less often used in an interesting and crucially fresh way. The whole conflict of the film feels played out before it has even begun.
Mamoa is playing the same character he always does, and Merced adds nothing and is simply along for the ride.
Overall, this is so by the numbers it becomes irritating.
Pros.
It is watchable
The opening is mildly interesting
Cons.
The acting isn’t very good
The story feels incredibly generic
It has nothing to say
It is boring

I think it’s safe to say Jason Momoa is famous more for his looks than his acting talent. He wasn’t the worst actor in ‘Aquaman’ but that isn’t saying much.
