John Stamos takes a dark turn in the new thriller “Drag.” The film pairs him with Lizzy Caplan in a story that aims for clever suspense.
The narrative attempts to weave a complex psychological plot. However, it struggles to maintain a consistent focus, ultimately feeling overextended.
Stamos departs sharply from his familiar television persona. His performance ventures into intense and unsettling territory, marking a distinct shift in his career.
Caplan delivers a grounded counterpart to Stamos’s escalating character. Their dynamic provides the film’s core tension, even as the overarching plot falters.
While the concept shows promise, the execution lacks cohesion. The thriller stretches its premise thin, leaving some narrative threads underdeveloped.
The film represents an ambitious, if uneven, entry for both leads. It offers a glimpse into a more dramatic range for Stamos, despite its flawed pacing.
