“By Any Means” (**1/2 out of four) was a serviceable Netflix thriller about a celebrity actress (Brooke Burfitt) who is allegedly kidnapped by a fan (Thomas Gipson) but after her escape and his arrest- subsequent questions arise on whether she really was kidnapped or whether there’s more to both of their stories. Interesting story never shifts into high gear but keeps its grip thanks to its two strong lead performances and unexpected intelligent layers regarding celebrity and the twists and turns regarding both their stories……..leading to an ending that’s a real letdown and falls short of real satisfaction. Still, this is worth watching and better than most recent Netflix junk.
