I don't know why, but I had thought this was about bitcoin at some point. Maybe somebody had put a false plot or something down. Anyways when I watched the trailer I thought it looked fairly interesting. It has only a few faces that are somewhat known. Apparently this is based on a book too. I swear I never expect something to be based on a book especially in certain ideas. Okay I would never have expected that this was written and directed by a 24 year old who has a few other films under her belt as well. Anyways let's see what Emily Hagins has to offer.
Okay so that wasn't a bad movie. Not great, but not too bad either. The story line was decent and kind of reminded me of The Perfect Score meets The Breakfast Club in a sense. I liked the characters although the lead guy had no charisma. It's not very helpful to a movie when the lead has a bland personality. This isn't Twilight or Fifty Shades where the character is emotionless because it is meant to be you. It seemed however all the other mains tried. Anyways I don't really know that it could have been much better. It's a pretty generic idea.
So this was a so-so movie. There were some decent characters. The acting was fine except the stale male lead. The story wasn't bad, but felt like a lesser version of The Perfect Score and Breakfast Club. Emily Hagins is still young so for what it's worth I believe she will improve. It's definitely a weak Netflix original compared to most. It could have been worse though.
