Bad Girl (2016)
An okay thriller with Samara Weaving. Better then one would expect. I never expected to like one actor this much, so as to search such obscure titles like this. The film's shot in a naturalistic style which i liked. Except for the two leads no character is given any development. Even the romance aspect while done well doesn't gel with the thriller aspects. Making the film kinda disjointed. A slow start followed by an abrupt jump into madness.The ending also is quite unsatisfying. If you want to end on a subtle or quieter note. Do so. If you want to end on a violent and loud note do so. I feel like the film does neither. Once the bad is caught and hauled off, it should have ended there. But it tries to pull off a violent home invasion kind of climax, but does away with the violence. The villain dies quite easily after a small confrontation in the swimming pool.
Spoilers if anyone cares for it.

Samara plays crazy really well. This is no exception. But since she plays such roles mostly in over the top movies having an irreverant tone, i found her to be quite scary here.
Samara Weaving is good. She might be the reason why the film works at all. The other actress is okay. But i didn't care much for her character. Someone's mileage may vary, but might be worth a one time watch. 3/5
