Till Death (I) (2021)
6/10
Minimal story and slick production deliver textbook suspense
26 December 2022
It's a pretty down the middle thriller. The premise may be a bit hard to swallow, one part Gerald's Game, one part Home Alone/Die Hard, but with a little willing suspension of disbelief, it can be a pretty fun ride. It's laser focused on the singular situation, so you gotta just go with it and get wrapped up in a whole bunch of "oh no, how is she gonna get out of this one?" Megan Fox treats the circumstances to one long eye roll, acting like someone with the worst case of the Mondays who's just not having any of it. A lot has been said about her inability to be cast as anything but a sexpot, but I mean, look at her. Nobody ever cast Danny DeVito as a heartthrob or the Rock as an underdog, you've got to work with what you've got. The role makes sense for her looks without feeling the need to constantly draw your attention to them and she's believable in all her exasperation. You probably know what you're in for if you've seen the trailer or cover even, just a simple popcorn flick that gets the job done without overstepping it's bounds.
