Leave your thoughts about Dangerous Lies.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWorking from a clever if occasionally convoluted screenplay by David Golden, director Michael M. Scott has fashioned a classic cautionary tale about two seemingly good and smart people who make some dumb decisions when greed and opportunity come knocking. |
| PolygonKaren HanDirector Michael Scott, working in a moody color palette that often makes the movie look like an extended episode of Riverdale, keeps the surprises coming at a pace that ensures no one will think too hard about the fact that there aren’t really any clues to follow. The pleasure of Dangerous Lies isn’t finding out whodunit, but simply yelling, “What?” at your screen as increasingly unbelievable twists play out. |
| The GuardianBenjamin LeeIt’s pacy enough to secure at least our divided attention, competently trotting along in the background revealing surprises that aren’t really that surprising, like a pulpy, well-worn airplane novel that you guiltily devour in a day. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenIt might be kind of tedious, kind of sloppy, and mostly silly, but you could never accuse Dangerous Lies of false advertising. The new Netflix thriller, directed by Michael M. Scott, is practically designed for rainy day viewers who initially laugh at the title, and that’s not a bad thing. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyBut if you can check your brain and go along with the preposterous plotting of a mystery thriller as generic as its title, there's a certain baseline pleasure in watching the more or less wholesome young couple at its center swim in a murky cesspool of deception and death. Oh, and diamonds! |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe end result is a thriller that doesn’t race towards a climax we figure out (finally) 20 minutes in advance, it limps there. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzFrom its lazy title down to its yes-we-all-saw-that-coming third-act twist, Dangerous Lies offers a particularly boring kind of last-resort viewing. |
| User ReviewAlexanderFleminw0w i love so much this movie because idk is so cool las que dan mala critica son unas pooh tas |
| User Reviewmanningn15This was a pretty good movie and my 2nd favorite thriller of 2020 and one of my favorite movies of 2020. Camila Mendes's performances was outstanding, she gave a very compelling performance. The writing was familiar but still pretty well-written. This was a overall really enjoyable movie. |
| User ReviewMurphydh1Back in the day this was one of the better made for Lifetime movies. Its still that only in a world looking for content its moved uptown to Netflix. The prevailing tomato ratings are too harsh. This fits the genre. Happenings that don't make sense , simple well telegraphed twists with the heorine coming out ok in the end . |
