Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Kevin Harley

Smartphone tech and old-school star power combine in this pleasingly constructed romantic thriller from director Christopher Landon (Freaky). Meghann Fahy plays Violet, a single mum and domestic abuse survivor visiting a skyscraper restaurant to meet Henry (Brandon Sklenar), her first date in years. Soon, AirDrop-style messages on her phone reveal that there's a masked man in her home who'll kill her sister and son if Violet doesn't obey orders to secretly poison Henry. Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach's script simmers nicely with first-date nerves and deadlier anxieties, and handles its abuse subtext well. Establishing that the message sender must be in close proximity to Violet, the writers also play up the paranoia by weaving in plenty of vivid support characters, all of them fun potential villains. Landon's flair for juggling tension and comedy proves agile, too. While the plot logic and climax don't withstand scrutiny, terrific turns from Sklenar and a persuasively fraught Fahy help to ensure you don't care too much in the moment.
