The plot clearly has not been worked out. A murder is committed with no plausible explanation for why. A man stalks a woman with no plausible explanation for why. The characters generally behave like unsupervised 11-year-olds. Go to Full Review

Malireddy M @RT53495135 Jun 7 I can’t begin to describe how awful everyone’s acting was. All the women in the show do is fold their hands and stand there, which is incredibly boring. The direction is terrible, and the cast is terrible. The main character’s friends are the ones with the most overacting, and I can’t stand her face. I wouldn’t even dare to watch this movie. See more Debra T @RT19782836 Jun 7 This is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! The acting and directing is seriously bad. The plot moves so slow and it is terribly boring. If you need a nap, this movie is the perfect cure for insomnia. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jun 6 If I Can’t Have You is a tense stalker-style thriller built around obsession and a slow-burning "cat and mouse" dynamic. It creates a steady sense of unease as the situation escalates, relying more on atmosphere than big twists or spectacle. The unknown cast gives the film a grounded, realistic feel, even if it takes a while to fully connect with the characters. The main issue is the screenplay. The mystery is too predictable, with key reveals arriving early and reducing the impact of later developments. Stronger misdirection and tighter writing could have elevated the tension significantly. Even so, If I Can’t Have You remains a watchable thriller. It holds attention through its mood and pacing, offering a simple but effective one-time viewing experience.

See more Brandon S. @RT60203392 Jun 3 This movie is absolutely awful. Like where do you get these actors and this terrible plot. Do not watch!! See more C W @MYLO10 Jan 13 This was the worst acted and directed movie I have seen in years. It's a B - production. Good actors, well known names. Just done very poorly See more Read all reviews
