Dialogue thriller of flashback past events from a woman as a girl who was bullied by another girl in school she thought was her best friend, but learned in one of the most humiliating ways that she wasn't. The story unfolds when years later as adults the one who was bullied, (Naomi Harris) asks her so called friend but really bully (Natalie Dormer) to meet up with her to discuss getting rid of her cheating husband and once they get together, the story is just an awesome dialogue popcorn thriller ride from there on out. I meant it was really a decent Roman Polanski-ish style suspense that was diabolical and disappointing, only because I was rooting for a Naomi Harris's character to triumph. From start to finish, The Wasp is a very decent watch.

Ladies and gents, what we have here is a well-acted, well-written, well-cast, well-directed, psychological thriller. It works well, it keeps you offguard, and the time passes very quickly indeed. These sorts of films were all the rage in the 1940s, a time when the industry was still transitioning from the static feel of a stage play (few backgrounds, lots of dialog) to the more kinetic medium of film. The only unusual thing about it is the fact that some big-name critics went nuts for the project, saying it was the best thing they had ever seen. Not really. But it does hold the attention.
