Blake- N @PBSAniDom 1d The Roommate (2011) is a textbook example of a thriller that completely misses the mark. Instead of building real suspense or tension, it relies on tired clichés and predictable plot turns that you see coming almost immediately. What should have been a psychological thriller ends up feeling flat, uninspired, and unintentionally funny in all the wrong places. The characters are poorly developed and make questionable decisions that constantly pull you out of the story. Even the supposed "dangerous" moments feel staged and lacking any real stakes. There’s no real buildup, no meaningful payoff—just a repetitive cycle of weak drama and shallow conflict. The performances don’t do much to elevate the material either, stuck in a script that never gives them anything compelling to work with. Overall, it feels like a wasted concept that never had a clear direction. Easily a 0/10.

Haven’t they learned anything from Disney? Why does every movie have to be about gay people? I don’t have anything against it, but I feel like I see it in every Netflix movie... Bad acting and agenda-based movie. See more Brianna R @RT65344707 Apr 14 Who approved this?! Never done a review before, but I felt like it was needed. The acting and dialogue are HORRIBLE in this movie. It's disappointing because they used a beautiful location, but it was SO boring.

Aunque no es un villano en el sentido criminal, se presenta como una figura persistente y molesta que no respeta los límites de Rebecca, convirtiéndose en una de las víctimas de Sara cuando esta decide eliminar cualquier distracción del pasado de su amiga.

She joins her other new friends; Tracy and the girls to a party where she meets a cute drummer, Stephen. When she reaches her room late that night, she was ready to tuck into sleep until she saw her roommate, Sara, who appeared to be waiting for her. Rebecca went to the bathroom to refresh herself and was surprised to find her roommate asleep when she was back. Thinking nothing of it, she went to bed.

But the execution of this movie is so bad. I kept on hoping for some depth and intensity throughout. The 1.5 stars goes to the actors because they did a pretty good job. I cant even think of recommending this movie to anyone. So dont waste your time and search for some other good movie. See more Read all reviews
