Sable (Ayla Kell) is a young woman. She and her boyfriend, Landon (Jon Briddell), seek to move to Wyoming. They also have some criminal past, though it is never specified, because in the first moments of the movie Landon commits a murder in Sable’s defense. Instead of calling the police or just leaving, he commits the additional crimes of destroying evidence and stealing the dead man’s car to move the body. They take the car and the body to Colton (Chris Petrovski) who, it turns out, is Landon’s son.
The young man offers to deal with the body and the car if Sable will try and con a rich man, Andres (Rodney Eastman), by tempting him into paying her to stay at his vacation home for his entertainment and pleasure. Sable agrees and begins her descent into a sadistic rich playboy’s personal underworld.
I wish I could say anything nice about this film. From the beginning until the very last moment, I was in a near-perpetual state of ‘what is going on?’ The story starts with no prelude, no names, no locations, and no motivations. It just kind of starts and then it attempts to explain or excuse itself. It’s just a poorly written-film on many levels. The unexplained and honestly inconceivable decision to take the body and stolen car to Colton is explained by Landon as an attempt to try and bond with his estranged son. You know, nothing says father-son bonding like a corpse in the trunk of a stolen car. Sable agreeing to go after Andres blindly makes just as much sense.
Sable is portrayed as intelligent, strong, and thoughtful though she never has the agency to act on these traits. Whenever she is with Andres, she is reduced to simple eye candy, wearing little, tight dresses and smiling. What was originally billed as a heist comes across more as a failed attempt to ride Fifty Shades of Grey’s coattails. The entire plot seems to exist just to put Sable in a position for sexual abuse. Sable is a poor choice for library collections. Not Recommended.
What library collections would Sable fit in?
Sable would have a hard time fitting in among other crime stories and is a purely optional purchase.
