The Woman in Cabin 10

I'm no investigative sleuth

Those Internet sleuths on Reddit won't have any trouble figuring this thriller out in a few seconds. It reads like a Netflix Lifetime Movie. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of woke propaganda in the movie.

But. We do have to obligatory super duper mixed race couple to deal with. At least they don't hop in the sack or make out and stuff and David Ajala is a cool black dude since he's from England and all that. They kind of dislike each other and keep their distance.

The books I read are usually classics, so I had to ask AI if the original boyfriend was black or green or what, but AI says that is unspecified. AI likes to make everyone happy and joyous, but if that is the case, I guess we have artistic liberty to change stuff around and make the boyfriend black. You know, like all modern films do.

While I haven't read the book so I can't personally compare the 2 there are a good amount of articles and reviews out there saying this
is very different from the book. The acting is ok but everyone is unlikable or annoying. The plot makes little sense and spoilers follow.
Your wife is dying of cancer and wants to give all her money away so you just happen to find her exact lookalike twin down to height, mannerisms, speech and body size on Facebook. Your plan is to have her pose as your wife and sign something saying she is changing her mind. For some reason you decide to invite an investigative journalist onto the ship you are trying pull this off on. You put her up in a cabin accessible to anybody on the ship then are in said cabin coaching her without the door looked so anyone can just walk in and find you. As for woke there is DEI overrepresentation. One of the changes made in the movie is with the character Ben. I found 2 articles 1 saying he's white in the book and the other saying he's mixed race. Either way he is black here so we can get that important woke mixed race box checked. The other problem is in the book she is dating a different character and the Ben character is a background minor one. Here the boyfriend is erased and DEI Ben is now shoved into the story. There is also the laughable stick figure female head of security. All of the male characters are bad except for, you guessed it DEI Ben. As far as I can remember none of the female characters are portrayed as bad. I made it all the way through but it's a short movie and really not very good.
