A chef flees the US due to gambling debts and assumes another man’s identity in Latin America, not knowing what he signs up for.
And if you don’t know what you signed up for, you’re in for a big surprise. So… A couple of friends reunite; one owes money and is unhappy, and the other has money and is also unhappy. Maybe a chat between them will clarify it; maybe it won’t. At first, you won’t get it. Half an hour into it, though, you will. And it will hit you hard. Inevitably, a number of questions arise, such as: What is he gonna do? How is he gonna do it? Is he gonna do it? And then what?
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much without giving away anything, so all I can say to you is this: What You Wish For is a masterclass of suspense. It is unlike anything you have ever seen. As seen in innumerable films, suspense takes countless different forms. While this is one of them, it is unique. The dialogue, how the lines are spoken, when they are spoken, how they blend with the sequences of events… and above all, how naturally they bind together makes it… unique!
Writer/director Nicholas Tomnay behind the camera and Nick Stahl in front of it are responsible for one of the most surprising films of the year. Do not let it go unnoticed. While there have been horror films that portray similar horrors, the emphasis is on the thriller side of it. There is a reason why it’s called “What You Wish For”. See for yourselves and find out. What if you were Jack? Either of them…
