Role Play Review amazon prime (No spoilers)
The streaming movie features a straightforward plot in the assassin genre, where a hidden secret is about to be revealed. The story takes a comedic turn as the couple, who both enjoy role-playing, decides to spice up their wedding anniversary. They engage in various imaginary roles, such as playing doctor and nurse, to add excitement to their love life. Interestingly, the female lead, who has been married for seven years and has children, has been playing this role-playing game throughout her married life. She also happens to be the top assassin in the industry, with a global demand for her services. Consequently, her work often takes her abroad under the guise of teaching marketing representatives. The money she earns serves not only to protect herself but also her family from being on the hit list for reward money.
Even though it’s a comedy, the cause and effect of the story are quite logical, and she also enjoys this life as part of a couple. This makes the story entertaining, with a touch of humor, as the female lead tries to hide all her secrets. There are scenes where the female lead must find a way to survive while playing a hypothetical role with the male lead. Meanwhile, the male lead remains completely clueless and believes that his life is quite happy. Friends see them as a model couple, and the film spends a considerable amount of time exploring this aspect, almost an hour long. The male lead discovers that the life he believed in is not as he thought, but the film doesn’t break his composure. Instead, he remains composed and tries to find reasons behind whether she deceived him or truly loves him. The movie includes an action scene where the female lead escapes an assassin, maintaining the momentum until the end when small unexpected twists are revealed. It’s a streaming movie with a small-scale plot, limiting the narrative scope, and unfortunately, it concludes on a small scale. Nevertheless, the ending is reasonable, and a small action scene provides some enjoyable comedic moments.
The two actors have good chemistry, even though there is an attempt to incorporate the theme of different skin tones. The film provides reasonable details about both characters, explaining that this is not the first love for the male lead. The female lead’s growth and how she came to live her life in this way are also well-reasoned, making the relationship appear plausible.
