Reviews

[Bright · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it, but I also like the 1940s era, which is exactly how’s it reads with their slang and conversation.
I rated it high because it was quick, to the point and wasn’t trying to be something it wasn’t.
It’s a short crime drama with quick pacing and stereotypical characters.

Spoiler: The girl outwits the bad guys.
There’s a twist! 😮
