Verdict on Intuition
Intuition is a mystery thriller following a rookie detective on her first case teaming up with a controversial detective. She must figure out who killed a teenage girl, while a gang is searching for revenge when one of their own is murdered.
This is an interesting mystery that is filled with plenty of twists and turns. However, the gang crime feels out of place on the side story, as it takes over part of the more complex case. The weird thing about this movie, is that it feels like like a season opener of a television show. This is because we get two stories going on, that aren’t connected, but show the bigger position of the characters involved.
Where to Watch
The movie is available to watch on Netflix now.
Final Thoughts – Intuition feels more like an early pilot episode for a bigger mystery series.
