Dangerous Lies, "Dangerous Lies," is not so serious its title, and there is a rush to choose the scary title that grabs attention for a medium-level movie. However, we cannot accuse the film of presenting silly content because the story in general is not bad despite its problems, and is not boring even though it did not leave the safety zone.
This movie, which removed Extraction from the top of the spectator, was released on the Netflix platform, the biggest winner of the "Covid 19" crisis, which pumps its original films one by one like ammunition to an audience that has no options but to receive and watch them. In fact, it is said that the content of «Netflix» is much better than what was in the cinemas when it was open.
The film neglects the exploitation of a big star like Elliot Gould in a secondary role, but that does not mean that you will neglect the details of the interesting story somewhat despite the presence of overlapping surprise and climax. Social.
Kitty (Camilla Mendes) is a girl who works as a housekeeper for an old man in Chicago named Leonard (Gold) who lives alone in a house and suffers from severe financial hardship. Leonard is a rich and lonely man without a family, and has a huge beautiful home. When Leonard dies, he states in his will that he left his home kitty with everything in it. Strangely enough, Kitty worked at his home just four months, which is not enough to generate this kind of close bonding or even confidence.
Detective Chesler (Sasha Alexander) notices this dubious point, but without arousing her curiosity at first. All the facts from the movie from its inception indicate to us that Kitty is a white-hearted girl who deserves money to start her life with her husband. Even when Leonard gives her a check for a generous amount to relieve her distress, her first reaction is that she does not deserve it.
Kitty's husband, Adam (Jesse Asher) has financial troubles too, enters job interviews without interest and is forced to drop out of school because he is unable to pay. Although Adam is considered a hero in the city’s eye, because four months ago he foiled an armed robbery attempt at the café where his wife was working, which is the scene of the movie’s presenter.
The couple moves to Leonard's house officially according to the will and during his exploration they find a box full of money in the attic of Leonard's house, Adam owns a kind of greed, especially since the amount reaches $ 100,000, which is more than enough to pay their bills. The couple discovers a secret in the house and face the danger of Mike, a real estate delegate hunting him Cam Kegandit.
The film's production, "Hitchcock", by Michael Scott does not match his text written by David Golden, meaning that the first is capable and the second is weak. The first thing the viewer notices at the beginning of the movie is a neon lights scene that takes us from outside a restaurant in south Chicago to inside it through the kitchen, passing through the tables, and ends at the movie's heroine. The shot is very attractive and suggests that the viewer is in the hands of an empowered director and professional photographer (Ronald Richard), not only the foreground shot but even the way of framing the shots and choosing the shooting angles, all the way to the end shot and its fascinating luster, all reflect a greater mastery than the level of writing the text.
If we take up the text, we find the story of a kind-hearted girl with a childlike face and innocence, who is struggling with her husband for a living. You are a spectator waiting for the lies that the title of the movie indicates The first lie comes in about 49 minutes, and this is after the scene of the failure of the armed robbery, the scene of the mysterious death of Leonard and the scene of the money box in the attic, the scene of Kitty inheriting the house, and repeated snapshots of real estate broker Mike tracks and watches the couple. This all wiped out a very strong start (armed robbery) scene, when the movie ends it will ask what was its importance? Why does the text want to tell us that Adam is brave as long as he does not intend to use this virtue to serve the character for the rest of the movie? Instead, it spoiled her, highlighted his greed, and alluded to his corruption, and this is another topic worth exploring and very interesting, but not in this text unless we cancel the scene of the misleading introduction or add another 45 minutes to the movie to justify that.
Question: Why is Kitty and Adam fearful? There is no charge against them, it is true that they are different about money, he wants to dispose of it and she wants to return it but they did not steal it even if he deposited it in the bank and if Kitty informed the authorities that she wanted to return the money to his owners, no one would accuse her of anything. Did the fear of a dead body in the attic of the house for two years not rot? Or the fear of Kitty that her husband is changing because of money?
We come to the investigator who did not suspect the size of the inheritance, did not investigate the will, and did not review the lawyer Julia (Jimmy Chang) who supervised her. But she doubted everything else and did not even think about observing the house that the couple inherited for free and very easily raise suspicions and suspicions. The lawyer is another very interesting character with the real estate broker. If writer Golden had expanded the text a little, we might have had a very nice short series instead of an urgent movie.
As soon as a non-rotting corpse emerges and a diamond cuts suddenly into the text and turns into a major element and deserves to be the title of the movie, add the cash box to the attic, the story quarrels the logic and rejects your mind, especially in the ending scene. The important thing is that we do not have to believe everything. Work is entertaining in the first place and you are not required to believe it.
