I recently watched #Like (2019) on Prime, and the storyline follows a young lady in high school dealing with the loss of her sister to an online predator. As she conducts her own investigation to find her sister's killer, she identifies a prime suspect, captures him, and subjects him to torture. But does she have the right person?
This movie is written and directed by Sarah Pirozek (Crafty) and features a cast including Marc Menchaca (Ozark), Jeff Wincott (Night Heat), Sarah Rich (Purple Hearts), Ramon Nuñez (First Reformed), and Dakota Lustick (I Feel Pretty).
While the premise for this revenge thriller had promise, #Like falls short in execution. The acting, torture scenes, and interrogations come across as awkward and unrealistic. The dialogue and exchanges between characters feel weak, which is disappointing given the potential for strong, tension-filled confrontations. Although there are some interesting subplots and stories, they often get overshadowed by poorly executed interrogations, particularly in the interactions between Menchaca and Sarah Rich. The ending leaves viewers feeling unfulfilled and wanting more.
Overall, #Like is a missed opportunity and ultimately fails to deliver as a worthwhile revenge thriller. I would rate it a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
