My review from Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/russellhfilm/film/ricochet/

"tired: saying “they wouldn’t make this today!” about politically incorrect movies and shows

wired: saying “they wouldn’t make this today!” about sturdy, sleazy, violent, well-directed mid-budget thrillers that allow young leading actors to further cultivate actual star power

last third has at least three different “DON’T DO THAT!” moments that only happen to set up the finale— when he doesn’t grab the tape upon leaving the house, I hit pause and screamed into a pillow— but that’s part of the fun of movies like this. there’s style to spare, there’s genuine star wattage from both leads (giving Lithgow several dozen truly demented lines is a serious bonus), and some of the violence/nudity is delightfully eyebrow-raising. if Netflix made a dozen movies like this per year, they’d be profitable by second quarter of 2023."
