The housemaid Movie Review by Ryan Balkwill

The plot: A struggling woman is happy to start over as a housemaid for an affluent, elite couple.

This movie was surprising.

Pros: I like how twisted the story gotten when the repeat happened the two ladies. Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried were great as housemaid and wealthy woman prospectively. The twists & turns was surprising to witness. How it shows rich man can get away with much when it comes to women. The blood & gore are brutal, and I left the cinema blown.     

Cons: My only criticisms that import certain decisions made in the story and me not being aware what certain was going to happened.
