Great Twist, Strong Acting, Minor Flaws
Thicker Than Water had a few slow moments that felt unnecessary, but overall, the storyline was engaging and the twist landed perfectly. The acting was impressive, with every character delivering solid performances that added depth to the story.
There were a few minor visual hiccups, though. Some of the movie’s set designs felt a bit artificial, like the use of synthetic leaves to mimic climbing plants on older buildings, which slightly pulled me out of the experience. Perhaps a more realistic approach could have elevated the immersion.
On the positive side, I really enjoyed the creative use of AI in some storytelling scenes. It added a fresh, visually striking layer that felt innovative and uniquely enhanced the narrative.
Overall, Thicker Than Water is worth a watch for its compelling story, strong performances, and clever visuals, even if a few details could have been executed better.
