Chameleon (Marcus Mizelle, USA, 2019)

Drawing on the conventions of crime/thriller genre, and deploying enough nifty plot shifts to keep the audience on its toes, Chameleon keeps us guessing until the final frame. In spite of its shoestring budget, the film has top end production values, and compelling performances from each of its leads. Chameleon is a fine piece of entertainment.

The film follows the struggles of a newly released ex-con named Patrick (Joel Hogan) as he tries to follow through on his promise to walk the straight and narrow upon his release. Unfortunately, this promise conflicts with another he made to his former cellmate and prison protector Dolph (Donald Prabatah).
