Verdict on New Life
New Life is a mystery thriller following a specialist fixer hunting down a mysterious woman. However, there is a lot more about the woman that poses a bigger threat, something the fixer isn’t aware of. It leads to an intense chase as the woman doesn’t understand why she is being hunted.
This movie uses a nice mix of an innocent person being hunted and a hunter with a complex problem. It balances the two sides together nicely, showing us the battle is always going to be more difficult for everyone involved. This keeps you guessing as we learn the consequences of what is unfolding, leading to big conclusion.
