Paradise Cove (2021)

Another day in paradise

Warning: Spoilers
I was surprised to see the protagonist Mena Subaru (American Pie, loser & American Beauty) & had a glimmer of hope for this. But within 15 minutes into the film, this dim flame was extinguished. This was NOT done as spectacular as The dying phoenix from the flame but rather like a match that is blown out with a light gust of wind. My twisted metaphors are better than any lines from the screen writers for this bargain bucket of a TV movie.

The film is riddled with clichés & plot holes that each character stumbles over. These include the sad back story of the antagonist/ swotter, the inept police that cannot do their jobs, the neighbours that buy into & support the antagonist's sad back story, etc the stoic husband that is passive & has that triumphs in spite of all adversities attitude and the wife that is an emotional mess that can be nasty at times.... The ending is so ridiculous that even for a TV movie it has a wft/ shake your head in disbelief moment. Please avoid this like it was the pandemic!
