I simultaneously insist you watch this straight gay film but also fail to recommend it.

It's tricky deciding what kind of cheese "Deadly Illusions," a diverting thriller starring Kristin Davis and Dermot Mulroney streaming on Netflix, is exactly. Soft and overripe, from the look of it.

2.5/5

A Lifetime disaster masquerading as a competent thriller. I get the desire for ambiguity but at some point you need to commit to a thread

2.5/4

Grammer plays the role with enough mystery to make the character interesting at every turn. That was important because the story follows a standard plotline.
