FIRST TIME WATCHING
It is pretty cliched when you get to the twist and found myself a bit bored at a few times and it does feel like a Lifetime version of Se7en, but there were some interesting thrills here. Direction was competent and the other technical aspects for a TV movie are decent. Just if that reveal was better and the film wasn't so boring at a few points, I could give this a higher grade. But I don't expect everything to be a masterpiece, I just at least want something competent and if you give me that, I can be fair, but if not, you get the worst case of luck with me, but I always try to be optimistic and it got to me here.
Grade: Stream This Thing
Se7en gets the Lifetime movie treatment with some hilarious 21st century updates, namely a plot by Anonymo—sorry, “Incognito”—to release the names of users signed up on Ashley Madis—whoops, I mean “Adeline Lilly”—and also to murder them in ways vaguely related to their personal forms of deviancy. Should have been released under its German title, “Sex Date with a Fetish-Killer.”
This is exactly what would result if a bunch of soap actors got together and made a complete soap opera arc (stolen from a popular movie) that would normally unfold over 273 days. Exactly .
Decent thriller with a lead i don't see often and has enough thrills to keep me invested.It has more of an edge to it than some Hallmark murder mysteries and Lifetime.The reveal is eh! but Hey not every movie can be The Batman.
I looked away before it ended and my grandparents changed the tv to an episode of Chicago PD. I thought the movie was still going.
Low grade and slightly silly thriller that sees a serial killer using a date app to kill of people whose life styles he disapproves of. Detective Maxine Payton (Melissa Archer) is soon on the killer's trail, but becomes increasingly paranoid that the killer may be her boyfriend or someone from her circle of friends. Everything about the plotline of "Deadly Exposure" is silly and implausible and to make matters worse the direction is lukewarm and the acting is mediocre.

Especially in the early going, this is surprisingly well-written, with a good ear for dry sarcasm which helps flesh out characters that could easily be no more than stereotypes. I genuinely LOL'd at Maxine saying to an interview subject, "Please excuse my partner. He was raised by wolves." This goes for just about everyone: even relatively minor roles, who have only a few moments of screen-time, appear to be real people.
The problems are more during the second half, as the story - and its climax in particular - relies heavily on the killer basically wanting to be caught. This is always an irritant, especially after the culprit has shown themselves to be relatively smart and savvy…
