Verdict on Pimped

Pimped is a crime thriller following a man who conducts a con with women, only to find the latest victim to have their own plan for him. It sees them needing to stay ahead of each other’s plans if they are going to get control of the situation.

This is an interesting thriller that touches on sensitive subjects. It has a twisted concept that keeps us guessing as to where it might go next. However, the unlikely friendship angle only makes things uncomfortable to watch when you know what has happened already. This gets the message of revenge over entitled people done but it goes about it in a strange direction.
