Review of Kimi (2022) by Voodoo123 — 22 Feb 2022

Kimi is an unsophisticated thriller that borrows heavily from classics in its genre rear window yet delivers little thats new (ahem covid restrictions and face masks?). There's a great cast here and some excellent sound design (the headphones cutting to silence was very effective). Overall production is top tier considering its quick production turn around.

Spoilers ahead but what little that worked well here is sadly and quickly discarded for a cheap and overly unrealistic mary sue murder spree victory finish with literal smiling 'oh, suddenly it seems murdering home invaders with a nail gun was the therapy that cured my agoraphobia ' moment. Although entertaining - couldn't help but feel theres was a massively missed opportunity for something more subtle and meaningful.
