Quibi is seeming more and more like a financial venture that won’t work out, and while that isn’t a great tragedy as I’m not a great fan of the ‘phone only’ streaming service, I am still making the most of my 3 month free trial to watch all of the TV shows on the service that I want to.
This was billed as the main event for Quibi at launch and I can see why. All things considered, it is a polished, well acted, and well shot action thriller. It is also packed full of cliche and some average writing, but in general the ‘cat and mouse’ plot works well with Quibi’s format.
Liam Hemsworth makes for a strong leading man, Sarah Gadon is given a very stereotypical ‘wife’ role, and two time Oscar Winner Christoph Waltz does what he does best, play a sophisticated villain.
Rating = 3/5
