"... Tom's eventual journey towards something resembling redemption is played a little too straight. One final bad decision to cap off a film full of bad decisions should be laced with dramatic irony, especially since it is a damning indictment of how white men's rage, at any age, is often coddled and protected by those with the most power. It's a stinger that would have been better served on a more preposterously pulpy platter. Instead, the film ends with a limp whimper. What could have been a deliciously dark satire, instead remains in the liminal space known as aggressively average. — [**Source**](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-girl-in-the-pool-movie-review-2024) __ .. the last time to watch/see Freddie Prinze, Jr. was when he played "Fred" in the cartoon made into film Scooby Doo (2002) .. while his performance and that of Kevin Pollak and Monica Potter is worthy of recognition the plot was just below the average drama-thriller .. as there were some humorous and near comedic moments .. if one has an hour or so to experience psychological twists and turns in a plot of sex (implied), marital infidelity and murder this is for you .. YorAyl gives it: ★ ★ (out of 4) __
