Are you ready for a seriously intriguing and potentially offbeat thriller? Jack Quaid and his fellow “The Boys” star Jeffrey Dean Morgan are teaming up in a gritty new flick called Neighborhood Watch, and the premise sounds anything but ordinary.
A Gritty Thriller
Quaid plays Simon, a guy grappling with mental illness. He believes he’s just witnessed a woman being snatched and thrown into the back of a van. It’s the kind of thing that would send chills down anyone’s spine, right? But when Simon reports the unsettling incident to the police, they flat-out refuse to believe him.
But Simon isn’t about to let it go. Convinced of what he saw, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing woman. To help him on his increasingly desperate mission, he enlists the (significantly) reluctant assistance of his next-door neighbor, Ed (Morgan), a retired security guard played with that signature world-weary charm. Ed’s probably seen it all and is likely looking forward to a quiet retirement. Still, Simon’s persistence drags him back into the messy situation he was perhaps trying to avoid.
The dynamic between this odd couple makes Neighborhood Watch sound particularly interesting. Simon’s earnest, almost touching persistence clashes against Ed’s seen-it-all, hard-boiled personality and his sharp, quippy delivery. As they stumble deeper into their amateur investigation to track down the missing woman, this unlikely pairing promises to deliver a thriller that’s definitely not your standard issue, paint-by-numbers affair. Expect some dark humor and unexpected twists alongside the suspense.
