But that fantasy\u2019s nightmarish reality hits hard for one talented chef after he assumes his culinary school comrade\u2019s life in \u201cWhat You Wish For.\u201d Filmmaker Nicholas Tomnay\u2019s sophomore feature percolates with atmospheric dread and austerity, but only superficially explores the twisted amorality of the 1% and those who service their whims. While not always successful in cooking up tantalizing commentary on human behavior, it offers a decent helping of Hitchcockian intrigue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Ryan (Nick Stahl) is looking to get away. He\u2019s incurred a massive amount of gambling debt and his bookie\u2019s threatening text messages are escalating. He hasn\u2019t blocked the incoming number because of his naivet\u00e9 and a penchant for getting in over his head. His plan is to hide out in another country \u2014 somewhere in Latin America (the film doesn\u2019t specify) \u2014 visiting his former culinary school roommate Jack (Brian Groh). The two haven\u2019t seen each other in a decade and their career paths have diverged: Ryan works in a chain hotel kitchen in Dallas, while Jack is a private chef for a Slovenian catering company that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>s all over the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Following his arrival at the tropical mansion where Jack has been hired to cook an exclusive meal for some rich clients, Ryan notices his pal is haunted and jaded by his success. Jack\u2019s high-pressure career is taking an emotional toll that\u2019s boring a hole in his soul no amount of money can fill. So when Jack kills himself, envious opportunist Ryan sees a chance to break free from the shackles of his impoverished mundanity and commandeer Jack\u2019s lucky life. However, once Jack\u2019s bosses Imogen (Tamsin Topolski) and Maurice (Juan Carlos Messier) show up, Ryan gets a taste of the deal he\u2019s struck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There are cheeky referrals to the Big Dinner\u2019s main ingredient \u2014 one that would be unsavory to spoil \u2014 as \u201cproduce,\u201d generating heightened tension and decent character development. The screws tighten further when local investigator Detective Ruiz (Randy Vasquez), who\u2019s suspicious of the company, is invited to join the party. Stahl\u2019s precise, perfectly subdued performance hits the right notes when calibrating the film\u2019s tonal range, especially when delving into the character\u2019s depraved, darker facets. He turns in compelling work, getting us to root for this anti-hero despite Ryan\u2019s compromised ethics. His expressive physicality, compartmentalizing his dastardly actions, neatly channels the push-pull of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>\u2019s emotional undertow. In addition, Topolski is a revelation. She\u2019s magnetic, gracefully in sync with her scenes\u2019 macabre melodies and rhythms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Alas, the plot hiccups midway through the brisk runtime, ultimately getting indigestion during the hokey finale where our antihero predictably values his former humdrum life. For every creative scenario that organically has characters \u2014 such as Detective Ruiz and Jack\u2019s one-night stand Alice (Penelope Mitchell) \u2014 unable to leave the home after surprising everyone on event night, there\u2019s a nonsensical contrivance holding it back. For Alice, it\u2019s questionable that she doesn\u2019t im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely flee after spotting Jack\u2019s watch, which symbolizes Ryan\u2019s greed, envy and failure, on his wrist. For Ruiz, dubious excuses don\u2019t quite explain his inability to fetch his forgotten cell phone charging in the main kitchen. And considering how much the company insists it has hidden these insidious activities under the guise of altruism, their fail-safe tactics for dealing with authorities seem ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While the narrative loses its grasp, the aesthetics hold a tight grip. From the God\u2019s-eye perspective used in the opening credits (a visual indicator of the film\u2019s continual judgement of Ryan in these sinister shenanigans) to the static camera shots imparting a sense of disarming unease, Tomnay\u2019s acute design sensibilities add an entrancing pull. His edits slice through the scenery like a butcher\u2019s knife. Mateo Guzm\u00e1n Sanchez\u2019s cinematography illuminates characters\u2019 depths and dimensions. With its plucky staccato strings, Jeff Russo and Tracie Turnbull\u2019s score hints at the puzzle our protagonist must piece together to survive. Ryan\u2019s dual-sided internal struggles are reflected in Diana Trujillo\u2019s production design, contrasting the sterility of the concrete-and-tile basement and the home\u2019s warm, soft living spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, compared to the devilishly nasty satirical bite of \u201cThe Menu,\u201d Tomnay serves up a blandly seasoned dish lacking in wit and incisiveness. The film is done a disservice by equating the haves and the have-nots, positing that moral bankruptcy knows no economic background. Though Ryan ultimately feels the burden of his brash decision, the obvious Aesop\u2019s Fables-inspired lessons make what could\u2019ve been an extraordinary meal into something far less memorable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
