Play Dead
Brother & sister, TJ & Chloe (Bailee Madison), find themselves facing foreclosure on their house after their father’s recent death. TJ & Chloe’s ex, Ross, attempt a robbery to get some extra money. However, things go bust, TJ gets away, but Ross gets shot & sent to the morgue. Medical student Chloe fakes her death to get into the morgue to retrieve evidence incriminating TJ. While executing her covert mission, she find out the coroner (Jerry O’Connell) is secretly harvesting body parts for the black market. Then the evil coroner discovers her & must silence her. This is a suspenseful thriller but it’s not very realistic. It’s just a fun cat & mouse/escape room caper to see how one can end this night of terror & silliness.
Alien gives it 2 “bad dog” stars out of 4.
