“Dangerous Lies” (**1/2 out of four) was an engrossing thriller about a financially strapped young couple (Camila Mendes and Jessie T. Usher) who find that the elderly man (Elliot Gould) who they were caretakers for dies and leaves them his estate but they soon find that there is much more to this than meets the eye and this leads to allegations of deception and murder. Slick and twisty thriller keeps you watching and guessing but starts to fall apart in its final third as it takes too many twists-and-turns which make it confusing and film’s ending is unsatisfying. Still, it’s overall better than most movies of this caliber and has good acting and camerawork.
