A narcissistic psychopath with ADD, BPD and a sex addiction tries to sleep his way to the top of Hollywood, only to find his world crash down around him.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion.
