"What You Wish For" had the potential to be a binge-worthy limited series. The premise of a down-on-his-luck chef impersonating a colleague for a wealthy family with dark secrets is packed with tension and ripe for exploration over multiple episodes.

A TV show format would have allowed for a deeper dive into the characters' motivations and the bizarre world they inhabit. We could have seen the chef navigate the opulent estate and its eccentric inhabitants over time, building suspense and gradually unraveling the family's mysteries.

The film felt rushed, cramming a story with rich potential into a short runtime. A series could have fleshed out the plot, creating a more satisfying and suspenseful viewing experience.

My friends and I were looking for something to watch and came across this movie. We had no idea what to expect but it sounded interesting and we love to watch cooking shows so we decided to give it a try.

It started off a little slow, and it was so chill and calm. But slowly, what was really happening was revealed, and the characters were so matter-of-fact about it that you kind of didn't know what to think of it!

We were intrigued as to how the movie would end, and what the characters would do, that we watched it all the way to the end.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it to anyone I know, but I guess there's an audience for it!

Nick Stahl played a chef with a financial issue in this crime thriller movie. He's a brilliant actor who embodied Ryan so well. The movie progress very slowly at the beginning, which can be a deterrent for most people to continue watching. But if you're like me, have a steel-like determination, then you'll get to the most interesting part of the movie after the snooze fest is over, which starts after about 30 minutes. And from there, the thrill kept on flowing to you like a stream of icy waves, chilling down your spine. And when you thought there's a hope for Ryan... Well, I'm not gonna spoil anything. What you need to know is that after the first 30 minutes, the good stuff are starting to begin. So, steel yourself, or find another movie to watch, if you don't wanna wait patiently. I did, and it didn't disappoint me.
