PRODUCT REVIEWS

The movie begins with a police precinct being investigated by various police and forensics officers. In the aftermath, a message written in blood is discovered on a wall among the casualties. This sets the stage for a flashback to 4 am on the same day, where we find Rebecca (Abbie Cornish) waking up in an interrogation room at the precinct, feeling disoriented and confused. Detective Moon (Moon Bloodgood) enters the room and informs Rebecca that she has been arrested for a hit-and-run that occurred around 2:00 am. Rebecca denies the accusation and starts to recount the events of the previous night. She explains that she went to a bar alone, drank heavily, and met a man. As she narrates her story, Rebecca begins to realize the seriousness of the situation and how her account aligns with the reported crime. When Rebecca requests to use the restroom, she encounters Detective Avery (Laz Alonso), Moon's partner, who informs her that she is not the only one being questioned about the hit-and-run. Despite her protests of innocence and her suspicion that she may have been drugged and framed, the interrogation continues. Rebecca becomes increasingly wary of the detectives and her surroundings, determined to uncover the truth about what is really happening. "Detained" is a gripping thriller with many unexpected twists and turns. The movie was directed by Felipe Mucci, who also directed "Two Deaths of Henry Baker" in 2020. It's worth mentioning that Felipe is also one of the writers of the film. The film is most praised for its engaging mystery that leaves audiences wanting to see how it ends. However, many of the twists and reveals are quite predictable, including the final reveal, which is disappointing. It's too obvious from the beginning what the reveal will be, making the conclusion more eye-roll-worthy than exciting and jaw-dropping. Additionally, many scenes feel familiar, especially when various bad guys turn on each other, giving the film a vibe like The Usual Suspects, where a group of characters find out that a villain is among them. Deception and trickery are constantly present throughout the film. Overall, The movie "Detained" has a satisfactory storyline, but it contains a lot of predictability. It starts off strong with a mystery, but if you've seen films like "The Usual Suspects," this will soon feel familiar and become less exciting. Most performances, including those from the lead, Abbie Cornish, are fine, but Laz Alonso's performance is particularly compelling, surprising, and enjoyable. The camera work is generally good, but some shaky and unfocused moments are distracting. It's a decent thriller, not overly intense, but it hooks the viewers enough from the beginning to keep them interested till the end, despite the significant reveal being too obvious and somewhat childish. * This review has been written for Sanity.
