I went into this film knowing nothing more than the synopsis (I had expected George Mackay to be playing the protagonist actually, so evidently I hadn't read very much about it). It was enjoyable to an extent but I was left feeling somewhat disappointed because I don't feel it particularly explored the two main characters in sufficient depth. The audience is privy to some of the journey Preston goes on, but there was so much more that could've been explored with his character. Nonetheless Mackay's performance was excellent. There is not a great deal of growth and development with Jules, he starts a drag queen and he ends a drag queen. At least with Preston the layers were starting to peel back and I developed some sympathy for him. Overall I would say a decent story that should've been taken further, there was a nice redemption arc in there somewhere for Preston. With regards to calling this a 'thriller', I wouldn't say I was especially thrilled by it and at several points I was just asking myself "why are they doing that, this doesn't make sense". I'm rating it a 6/10 but that is mainly down to Mackay's performance. I really wish I'd been given more background to the complicated feelings he has around his sexuality and his internal conflict.
