Film Review: Bystanders (2024)

After a disastrous first twenty minutes, The Bystanders does an impressive job of adding some much-needed charisma and charm to the film. While the script could have used some significant polishing, I think there is something to appreciate and to like here. I would have a touch more daring in the filmmaking, a willingness to take risks in the plot, and some nuanced villains, but it’s not a complete waste.
