Vengeance sous les tropiques

Directed by Stacia Crawford from a script by Joyful Drake and Scotty Mullen, this movie has a familiar face or maybe I'm watching too many Tubi originals. Simone is played by Crystal Lee Naomi, who was Alicia in Twisted House Sitter. She and her friends Parker (Brittany S. Hall) and Bailey (Tanisha Long) have decided to take a break and head out for a girl's only weekend for Parker's birthday. But as the title warns you, things aren't going to go well. Soon they learn that one of their friends, Kate Alessa (Rebecca Galarza) has taken a header off of the balcony of the hotel. Parker had just been flirting with Kate's boyfriend, but then again, that man -- Antonio (Donny Boaz) -- is married to Elizabeth (Sunny Mabrey), the owner of the hotel. Oh man, this thing is complicated and it hasn't even started yet. There's also a ton of social media one-upmanship, our heroic leads getting drugged and blamed for the crime and, of course, a late dramatic reveal of who the real killer is. If you like those Lifetime movies, good news. Tubi has you covered.

This is a Tubi exclusive. If you enjoy Hallmark or Lifetime films/thrillers, you'll like this. The film is about three friends who stay at a fancy hotel and meet a girl who ends up suspiciously falling to her death. The story has many more twists and turns but I'll stop from here as I don't want to reveal spoilers. I enjoyed this film.

Like one reviewer said it's a good homage to lifetime suspense movies. It had kind of like a hangover vibe at the beginning with the three best friends Simone, Parker, and bailee not knowing nothing after a night of partying.then it turned into a nice little feel good murder comedy drama thriller movie. Had the right balance of over the top rivalry drama and build up with a layer of comedy on top.i must add in a way I had some reality show vibes from it in a way like Kate and Simone competition for followers and sponsorship. Had like a little bit of bad girl club and love and hip hop and the real housewives vibe to it in my opinion as well.
