"Safe film" offers up a product that isn't bad as such but doesn't reward itself or the viewer, in a meaningful way either.
Such is the case with The Poison Rose. This is a film that follows a well trodden path of a rather conventional thriller, that's not all that thrilling.Instead,what you get is a ponderous, rambling, predictable affair that's never does anything to make it more than "of the moment" viewing.
Using veteran actors does little to enhance the general feeling of ordinariness that pervades this film either. Indeed, I'd argue this film could have been made with less well known faces and the final product would not have been all that different.
5/10.
