The plot clearly has not been worked out. A murder is committed with no plausible explanation for why. A man stalks a woman with no plausible explanation for why. The characters generally behave like unsupervised 11-year-olds. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 8h If I Can’t Have You is a tense stalker-style thriller built around obsession and a slow-burning "cat and mouse" dynamic. It creates a steady sense of unease as the situation escalates, relying more on atmosphere than big twists or spectacle. The unknown cast gives the film a grounded, realistic feel, even if it takes a while to fully connect with the characters. The main issue is the screenplay. The mystery is too predictable, with key reveals arriving early and reducing the impact of later developments. Stronger misdirection and tighter writing could have elevated the tension significantly. Even so, If I Can’t Have You remains a watchable thriller. It holds attention through its mood and pacing, offering a simple but effective one-time viewing experience. See more A M @RT66996236 1d Horrible acting. However, I was happy when I saw Jackée Harry, that was a nice surprise. Other than that, ALL of the actors were just horrible. See more Brandon S. @RT60203392 2d This movie is absolutely awful. Like where do you get these actors and this terrible plot. Do not watch!! See more C W @MYLO10 Jan 13 This was the worst acted and directed movie I have seen in years. It's a B - production. Good actors, well known names. Just done very poorly See more Troy I @RT60765531 01/18/2025 The acting is terrible and the directing is just as terrible. The movie feels like a bunch of little poorly done skits. The plot is drawn out to fill in enough time to make it a movie, but it should have been thirty minutes at most.
