Bodies at Rest (2019)

Could this film have used a little more downtime in between the tension & action? Yes. Would it have been improved with a bit more depth of character re: our leads? Probably. Does it require some major suspension of disbelief that these supposedly normal morgue employees could withstand this much physical punishment? Yeah.

Is it super mega satisfying to watch them ruin Christmas for the people who just ruined theirs? YES.

If you don't mind blood & somewhat intense violence & some minor corpse-related unpleasantness then please watch this movie it's so good. The leads have wonderful chemistry despite this being a pretty straightforward action film and they're likeable almost instantly. If you, like me, find a deeply romantic appeal in seeing 2 characters communicate and work together in sync in a crisis, then this is a film for you.
