Eyes really don't lie. You can see in the first 20 minutes he's eyes still have souls. But at the end of the movie it was gone. But I was wondering where to find this kind of job?! 🤣

And the premise is either entirely improbable by any stretch of the imagination. Or...this is a very true-to-life "fictional" depiction by insiders of this one hundred percent (100%) totally happening international thing of people like this. Regardless. It is good fun. And once we are clued in as to what is really occurring, things get nicely tense and unpredictable. Do a lot of those things always make sense? Naw. Who cares. Are there so many things not cool with the entire deal and not just that one ingredient in the dessert? Yep. But hey, it's a crazy, carefree world these days. It was great going into this movie totally unaware of what it's about. And that made for a nicer experience. Oh and it has some dark humor in spots too.

A chef with gambling problems meets up with a friend at a posh villa and when the friend dies life suddenly gets better...or worse? I had no idea what this was about nor who the actors were but I gave it a shot. The acting wasn't up to par and the dialogue was very forced, clipped and delivered in an amateur style. I almost turned it off until I realised there was a bit of a story in there. I kept watching and it was an intriguing story which I really liked: a chef gets paid a lot of money for making special meals for rich clients. The acting was poor to average throughout, and the dialogue never rose above average, yet there were tense scenes which kept me interested. I'm glad now I watched it as it was a decent film but I would love to have seen it given the Hollywood treatment. Not the best film made but I have it a 6 because it kept me interested and it made me tense at times.

I came across this one by accident whilst searching Nick Stahl, and was both presently surprised to find myself enjoying it, whilst somewhat frustrated at the obvious shortcomings and oversights. It's a solid premise, but aspects of the delivery are overly simplified and too exaggerated for a cringe free viewing. For example the Australian girls return to the venue, the police detectives insistance on questioning, our protagonists inability to string a sentence together under pressure. Was this our cooks first rodeo or not? There are just too many particulars that were stupid, inconsistent, or contradictory but were necessary for the story to work, and this is a classic characteristic of lazy writing and/or a rushed production. That said, the movie isn't without it's charm (and unsettling content) and though it does deliver... more or less, it should have been a more comprehensive production. Anyway, once again I'm not going to pick this one to bits as its not really one of those movies that warrants such close scrutiny. It is what it is. I'd say watch it casually and you'll be fine, its ok for a less immersive movie experience as long as your prepared to be a little forgiving. I think 6/10 is a fair score,
