The Tangent Affair is a curious entry in the late '80s thriller genre, blending beach vibes with a twisty plot. You’ve got this laid-back atmosphere, and the coastal setting contrasts sharply with the suspense. The pacing... well, it’s a mixed bag—some stretches feel drawn out, but that adds to the tension in a way, almost lulling you before the next reveal. The practical effects are modest, nothing groundbreaking, but they serve the story well. The performances, especially from the lead, bring a certain charm, even if they sometimes veer into melodrama. It’s not your typical edge-of-your-seat thriller, but there’s a certain nostalgic quality that you can appreciate, especially if you enjoy the genre's quirks from this era.
