The Good Neighbor (I) (2022)
7/10
suspend logic and its ok
29 July 2023
OK, well this is a psychological thriller, so you wouldn't have any "suspense" if there weren't any obvious huge holes in the plot and the characters' actions didn't have any logic to them, and the cops always followed up on glaring clues. The usual. The innocent are always clueless and the cops always pick the wrong guy anyway. The story stumbles along until a light comes on and the guilty party is exposed - or not - depending on the ending. This is one of those.

JRM is suitably creepy and verging on psychotic. But we don't really get his back story, it seemed rather thin. I mean, there were a lot of murders in a what seemed to be a small expat community.

Everyone was adequate I thought, but I struggled to get the sub-titles to work so all the Latvian chit chat with the cops etc was lost to me.

Still, it wasn't dreadful, I watched to the end.

I did, however, think the ending was crap.
