Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Serenity (2019)

Baker Dill is a damaged man who's started a new life as a fisherman with a boat for hire. He lives in a small town where everyone knows everything, including that his new client beats his wife. They also seem very invested in whether he will focus on the fish or her request that he kill the client.

It's very, very stupid. The stiff acting and weird town dynamic sort of get explained away by the twist of a conceit, but that doesn't make this a good film. It just makes it a poorly-executed, if sort of interesting, idea.
