Our heroine, Lucy Thompson, is one of the dumbest characters ever portrayed in a film. She is a private investigator and repeatedly says "I don't know what to do" in situations that someone with her supposed expertise would clearly know how to handle. Or even just the average adult would make better choices.
She has extremely poor judgement and is also a big hypocrite. For example, she sees a man her sister introduced her to the week before in a blind double date having drinks with another woman and freaks out. She does this while she herself is sitting in the same bar having drinks with another man. I mean, hello?! Maybe blind-date-guy-who-you've-met-only-once is with a client too? Regardless, they aren't even dating yet, so why is she being so psycho & possessive.
Also, the man SHE is having drinks with happens to be a client. Who is married. So she proceeds to have dinner and an affair with that same client while unsuccessfully trying to prove his wife is the one cheating.
The production is slick and the director does a lot with a stilted, nonsensical dialogue and a dumb, farfetched plot. The music is kinda OTT, but I liked it.
Lanie McAuley did her best as the thick, one-dimensional Lucy. I also liked the performance of Carly Fawcett as BFF Cami. I liked the casting of Dalias Blake as August, her no-nonsense employee/sidekick who was likeable, straightforward, and competent. His character grew on me. He should've been written as her business partner not employee because Lucy was so mediocre and incompetent and did not come across credibly as "the boss".
Lucy is dense, highly strung, violent and not very likeable. When she, the supposed heroine, bumped off her innocent love interest mid-film in such a ridiculous & unjustifiable manner, this film became a particularly unpleasant and meaningless watch. I have 20 minutes left in this film and can't wait until it's over.
