A maiden and her father travel to meet a disgustingly-rich family for business, when they suddenly strike a Unicorn! The discovery of the century leads to thoughts of profiteering and chaos.
The script is a brief setup with emotional themes of parenting, a middle of CGI "action" scenes of varying quality, and an ending that will most likely leave some viewers wanting more.
The characters, confusing tone, editing, premise and developments all are average at best. There's nothing particularly memorable about it, and not even the involved actors deliver. The dialogue doesn't offer much, the pacing is slow, and everything else is just okay. I find little to nothing to praise aside from having a tolerable experience.. but you might have a better time than I did! The trailer is informative enough to measure your curiosity.

Mother and Cop work together to get out of a sticky situation and under the threat of a mob leader.
Personally, I don't like when a script puts character in a position and their reaction is to be "incompetent". But sometimes it is realistic, and understandable. But it feels like this movie is consistently taking this line, which becomes frustrating after a point.
Not to mention the so-called "reasoning" behind the lead's pairing making little sense, as we have a father already in pain immediately subjecting someone else to the same suffering.. defies logic (and taking over half the film to get there).
The chain of events and execution of the premise leave a LOT to be desired.. I didn't enjoy this at all. Can't really recommend it.

Mother of one finally goes on a date again.. only to become a hostage. The only way out? Kill her date.
I really enjoyed it. And not because of the totally-predictable script (overall structure, not the details), but because the execution was really good! Allow me to compliment the great editing, camerawork and lighting that made this a visual spectacle worth watching (maybe except that one pink phone-chat screen). But was pleasantly surprised by the somewhat-unknown actors that sold me on it (as far as you are willing to accept the premise) as well. It has good production and is also quite tense.
I might come down on it later, but right now, it was a good 90min watch at home.
