Criminal Affairs

About This Movie

So, 'Criminal Affairs' is one of those flicks that takes a simple premise and runs with it, or maybe stumbles a bit, depending on how you see it. You've got this couple trying to enjoy their escape in the Maine woods, right? But then they get an unexpected guest—a prison escapee. The tension builds gradually, and the atmosphere shifts from serene to uneasy in a way that’s almost palpable. The performances are where it really shines; there's a rawness to the characters that makes their predicament feel real. The pacing? It’s a bit uneven, but it kinda works for that slow-burn vibe. Practical effects are used sparingly, but effectively, giving it a grounded feel that adds to the overall suspense. It’s one of those hidden gems that captures the unpredictability of human nature in extreme situations.
