No Exit (I) (2022)
7/10
A mostly loyal adaptation of one of my favorite books.

This is one of my first ever reviews but I felt that as a big fan of the book and Taylor Adams in general I should weigh in. Overall, I think fans of the books will be satisfied, but there are some overall quality issues. Ash, for example, is not developed as well as he should be as he was a highly compelling villain in the book. Jay is arguably wasted as she plays a major role in the final showdown in the book. With that being said, I actually enjoyed movie Darby more than book Darby. I felt giving her a backstory in drug addiction made her a more compelling character. There are some issues I have with the dialogue but the book also had some... interesting... dialogue. I'd recommend this for those who read the book and those who enjoy mysteries. It isn't perfect, but it's a fun movie for those who enjoy a little suspense.
