Manipulative. That's quite easy to see from the first few minutes and is revealed as soon as you go a little further.

Clearly John Cho is the actor with the experience and it shows.

The main issue I find with Don't Make Me Go is that it's too conventional and that interferes quite a bit with what is supposed to flow in a more authentic and effortless way and yet it seems messy and artificial.
All this in order to build up to a twist at the end that completely lacks the emotional shock I want to believe the script was going for, especially since the whole movie tries to make you feel sorry for another character and its predicament, which is the catalyst for all the events that occur here, so that twist feels like a cheap trick to provoke even more emotionalism from the audience, which I've always hated in this genre, cause it feels manipulative.

Maybe it's not a dud, but it's the kind of film that's made to be forgotten as soon as it's over.… Expand

The Yankee world is convinced that any problem can be solved on the road: false. Cognitively, one limits itself to provide simple answers to complex problems, emotionally one stops at the tearjerker, lenitive until it runs out.

Great to see John Cho back on the big screen with a steamy sex scene to boot! About time we see AAPI men depicted in movies as lovers and romantic leads. More of this please!

John Cho and Mia Isaac are good. The movie had me for most of it's runtime until the last half with (if you want to call it that) twist ending. It felt manipulative and just left a sour taste with me overall
