Untamed Royals (2024)

Untamed Royals (2024)

3.0

A confusing, bland mess of a movie about rich kids committing crimes that sounded a lot more interesting on paper

TLDR

This is the movie equivalent of mumble rap.

What it's about

A group of privileged kids commit crimes against those close to them and get away with it.

The take

This is confusing and not very good. The first line of the movie sounds like it should be something, cloaking everything in doubt. Turns out to be nothing. The movie really begins with the blurb, because that at least guides us toward a coherent story. What we end up with are a cast of unlikable characters and a bunch of twists that had little set-up or payoff to even register. I really don’t know what they’re trying to get at here. If the movie connects with you on a sexual level, I promise you there are shorter videos to watch. This is a better blurb than it is a movie, save yourself the time.

What stands out

I think maybe the lying is the least of our worries here.
