As a devoted cinephile, I’d like to share my perspective on “Under the Bridge,” a gripping adaptation from Rebecca Godfrey’s acclaimed novel, brought to life by the talented Quinn Shephard. This film delves into the chilling events surrounding Reena Virk’s tragic demise in 1997, an incident that escalated into a national calamity as described by The Globe and Mail. In this production, I step into the shoes of Officer Cam Bentland, an Emmy-nominated character who is one of the few individuals who treated Reena’s initial disappearance with the seriousness it warranted.
Reena, skillfully portrayed by Vritika Gupta (known for her role in “The Captain’s Mistress”), is a socially awkward young woman who finds solace in the company of a group of girls known as the Crip Mafia Cartel. However, when she mysteriously vanishes and suspicion falls upon this group, their temporary camaraderie is shattered, casting a dark shadow over them all.
