COCAINE BEAR writer Jimmy Warden makes his twisted directorial debut in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that follows a dangerously persistent stalker (SMILE 2's Ray Nicholson) who invades the home of a '90s pop superstar (READY OR NOT's Samara Weaving) with grand delusions of a wedding. With her life on the line and help from her loyal bodyguard, she must escape the stalker's sinister grip before they tie the knot.

Critics Consensus

Elevated by Samara Weaving and Ray Nicholson's performances to a point, this fun-enough romp eventually finds itself on the Borderline.

[Jimmy Warden] can come up with a hook, but the movie itself is pretty underwhelming.

2/5

Despite two talented leads, the loose, fictionalized remix of a true stalker case struggles to strike a coherent balance between comedy and horror, landing instead on a repellent, vapid anti-love letter to ’90s Los Angeles.

2.5/4

The breathless pace, and all these jagged tonal asides, can leave you feeling more than a little disoriented, especially as they drag Warden further from the toxic romance that’s supposed to undergird “Borderline”‘s central story.

Even with [several] flaws... a brilliant central performance by Ray Nicholson keeps viewers glued to the screen.

The product of a kitsch exercise that crosses the line into direct-to-streaming rubbish territory.[Full review in Spanish]

“Just like a Hollywood actor or actress who doesn’t quite know when to stop performing amongst family members and friends, ‘Borderline’ is frequently annoying yet always entertaining and unpredictable.”
