Bad Karma

About This Movie

So, 'Bad Karma' is an interesting watch from 2012. Jack Malloy, played by someone who's not really a big name, is a career criminal who has this life-altering near-death experience. The tension builds nicely as he tries to go straight, but then his old partner Drake, who’s got a pretty slick charm about him, shows up to throw a wrench in things. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which kind of adds to the overall tension. The themes of redemption and the struggle between old habits and new beginnings are explored, albeit in a somewhat gritty manner. The performances are decent, and there are some practical effects used that give it a raw edge. Not groundbreaking, but definitely worth a look for thriller fans.
