Review of Stowaway

Stowaway (II) (2021)
Not even just to fill in time
10 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Sometimes you're reasonably certain a movie is not going to be amazing, but you figure if you set your expectations low, it won't be so bad.

It's the sort of movie you keep in your back pocket when you want some quiet time at your mother-in-law's house, so you put it on and thirty minutes in your MIL has gone to bed and the movie, while not great, was worth the watch to give you the peace and quiet you were looking for.

Not this.

Honestly, I would have rather spent a week in lock down with my MIL than watch whatever this was.

Predictable, confused and the acting talent of a teaspoon (though at least a teaspoon has one job and does it well).

The following does not qualify as a spoiler, as nothing could spoil this further than it emerged off the cutting room floor.

There's a scene where a couple of bad guys are attempting to break into a safe with a battery powered drill (okay!?!), and during said safe cracking, twenty meters away our heroine tip toes up the staircase. Bad guy, sitting right next to the drill drilling into hardened steel stops: "I think I heard something..."

Moments later, they attempt to crack a sophisticated biometric lock using ... Windows Update.
