Verdict on Saturn Bowling
Saturn Bowling is a crime thriller following a detective who is trying to solve a string of murders. However, his recently inherited business run by his half-brother has an uncomfortable connection to the murders.
This is a dark thriller that includes graphically violent crimes being committed. It does turn into a bit of a cat-n-mouse battle to see if they can be stopped. However, it doesn’t seem to have that tense factor of wondering what could be going on. When we see both sides of the crime occurring it takes away the mystery of trying to solve it leaving it more about the two brothers’ relationship.
Final Thoughts –Saturn Bowling is an incredibly dark tense thriller.
