The narrative of Dangerous Lies details the story of Katie Franklin (Camila Mendes), who works as a caretaker to Leonard (Elliot Gould). On the personal side of things, she is married to her boyfriend, Adam (Jessie T. Usher), and together they are on the verge of going broke. Things better for them financially when Leonard leaves his property and wealth to Katie after his death, on his will. While they appreciate their sudden fortune for a minute, how this unearned emolument changes their fate forms the rest of the story.
What worked right for Dangerous Lies is the crisp narrative, which is kept brief, engaging and under 100 minutes (thanks to the editor Alison Grace), the writers managed to keep the momentum going from the beginning to the very end. Writer David Golden maintained the essence of a thriller through his well-written screenplay, and the twists and turns breezed in at the least expected time which surprised me. Subsequently, Dangerous Lies is one of the few thrillers that kept me hooked till the end without me needing it to pause for a minute or check my social media.
Camila Mendes was very natural on-screen and showcasing her decent acting skills excellently, and Jessie T. Usher aced as her boyfriend. Elliot Gould, though appeared for the least amount of time, performed his part well. The background score plays a vital part in any thriller film and James Jandrisch understood the importance and did his job remarkably.
