PARADISE COVE Review: Fatal Distraction
PARADISE COVE tells the story of a handsome young follows a husband and wife Knox and Tracey Bannett (Todd Grinnell and Mena Suvari, respectively) in the throes of renovating a stunning beachfront property, after it has been damaged by fire. However, their home improvement becomes severely derailed by a squatter named Bree (Kristin Bauer van Straten), who will stop at nothing to drive the young couple from their abode. What transpires is essentially a by-the-numbers-thriller, which does seem reminiscent of ‘UNLAWFUL ENTRY’ yet struggles to retain the same intensity as that early 90s offering. Sherry’s Klein’s lackluster script relies on the safety of being formulaic, and therefore lacks any weighty punch. The dialogue was passable, though the characters perhaps too melodramatic thus unsuccessfully forcing audience sympathy. Furthermore, the couple’s fertility was an unfocussed subplot that may have been an attempt at some sort of social commentary – however, this is […]
