Its opening moments suggest âFataleâ may be alarmingly bad.
âI was always the smart one, the one who played to win,â the noir thrillerâs lead character, Michael Ealyâs Derrick, says in narration mostly absent from the rest of the affair. âI was damn good at it â I was the best. But then I took my eye off the ball, and, just like that, the rules changed. I was no longer playing to win. This was a new game. Iâm playing for my life now.â
Wow. That is rough.
