Naomi Watts is wonderful and convincing in the lead role with several supporting cast members rounding things out perfectly. Tyrese Gibson shows a depth generally not seen in most cases as a sort of liaison simply trying to keep peace but quickly finding himself embroiled in the middle of it all.
At times predictable, at times redeeming. Worth giving a go if you have the time.

Liana and Traven are two Amber Druids who are both living in New Orleans. Liana is a restauranteur and Traven is a P.I. They meet again when Liana has a meeting with a person that Traven is following. They have known each other for 50 years but each of them thought that nothing would ever happen, for their own reasons. This is a short, passionate, love story that I have enjoyed and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
This novella is enough to give you a taste - and leave you wanting more - of the Amber Druids. I want to know more about them!

Maybe some of these Netflix movies would be more impressive on a big screen where all the special effects and sound design would get an appropriate delivery and have the faculty-numbing effect this sort of film is depending on. Or maybe not, I don't know. As it is this has an interesting premise, charismatic leads and seems to genuinely want to do some social commentary about US society, the nature of power, etc etc. But that would require a level of downbeat grittiness wholly at odds with the extravaganza of lavish CGI and show-offy direction this film also wants to be, and it's the latter elements that win out. As a result it is watchable and engaging on a superficial level but you sort of lament the loss of the more interesting and restrained film this could have been instead. Hey ho.
