hi guys welcome back to youtube movie recaps today i'll show you a crime drama mystery film called
promising young woman spoilers ahead watch out and take care the film starts in a nightclub
where friends jerry paul and jim are having drinks they notice a young woman cazzy thomas
appearing too drunk to pick herself up paul and jim make misogynistic comments toward her
but jerry goes to approach her and try to get her home jerry brings her back
to his apartment where he starts to kiss her when cassie says she needs to lie down jerry
brings her to bed and starts trying to take her panties off cassie then drops the drunk act to
sit upright and look jerry dead in the eyes to ask him what he's doing jerry looks terrified
cassie walks home the next morning with red stains on her clothes but it's just the jelly
dripping from the donut she is eating a trio of construction workers then start catcalling her
but she bothers them when she just stares at them blankly cassie is almost 30 and still
lives with her parents stanley and susan i had to work late she also works a dead-end
job at a coffee shop with her only friend gail where she behaves with apathy toward customers
johnny said he saw you at the fallout last week a former med school classmate ryan cooper now a
pediatrician enters the shop and recognizes cassie after some banter cassie spits in ryan's coffee
but he still drinks it anyway and asks to take her out she gives him a fake phone number later cassie
is picked up by another sleazy guy named neil who is trying to picture his sexist novel idea while
trying to get cassie to do cocaine when cassie says she wants to go home neil tries to get her to
go to bed with him she then reveals her sobriety to neil and immediately freaks him out cassie gets
closer to him as she calls him out for trying to take advantage of a seemingly drunk girl not here
and she leaves his apartment after nearly making him soil himself
stanley and susan give cassie a pink briefcase as a gift for her birthday though only after she
had a rotten reaction over receiving a gift she takes it as an obvious hint that they want her
to move out as stanley and susan have frequently expressed concerns over cassie's lack of ambitions
ryan returns to the coffee shop after realizing cassie gave him a fake number
and she finally relents and decides to go out with him really why not i wanted to do something else
she got it it was her guy was her grandpa although ryan appears nice enough
cassie doesn't let him get too close to her she eventually apologizes and continues to date him
so i'd like to see you again pick up my herpes medication while hanging out at the coffee shop
ryan mentions an old colleague al monroe who is getting married the thought of it disturbs cassie
to her core because when she was in med school her childhood best friend nita fisher was raped
by al during a frat party while she was too drunk to stand although cassie and nina reported it to
many people nobody believed them and gave out the benefit of the doubt which led to nina's suicide
and cassie dropping out of school cassie looks on social media to find many old peers congratulating
al on his engagement among them is a woman named madison mcphee cassie contacts madison
and arranges a lunch date with her cassie gets madison very drunk before bringing up
the case against owl with nina hey are you out already can we get another bottle thanks
maybe something's happened i mean madison acts aloof about it stating that it was a long time
ago and that someone with a reputation for always being very drunk was bound to end up
in a situation like that when cassie sees that madison is too drunk to know what's going on
she leaves after paying and is then seen speaking to another man while looking at madison cassie
later goes to a high school where she picks up a young girl named amber by pretending that she
is going to a diner to work for a popular boy band afterward cassie goes to see dean elizabeth walker
at her former med school cassie brings up how she and nina reported nina's assault to walker
but she had taken outside in the ordeal and seems to not even remember nina
cassie then tells walker that she picked up amber and brought her to the same room where nina was
raped and left her with several older boys walker becomes terrified and tries to call amber's phone
only to see that cassie has it after walker admits she was wrong and not believing nina cassie admits
that she only left amber at the diner where she is still waiting for the boy band and she tells
walker where she can find her cassie's next target is a former lawyer jordan green like the rest of
the names in cassie's list he was complicit in letting out get off scot free for what he did to
nina because he essentially forced her to drop the case however green knows he was wrong and
is extremely remorseful for what happened with nina he cries next to cassie who forgives him
i'll never forgive myself i'm so sorry when she leaves she speaks to an apparent hitman and tells
him he is no longer needed cassie pays a visit to nina's mother where they reminisce about nina
but mrs fisher thinks cassie's obsession with the ordeal is unhealthy and that she needs to move on
cassie attempts another drunk baiting trick this time with paul
as they are leaving together ryan is entering the same club and sees cassie
she tries to explain herself to ryan but he is uninterested in what she has to say
that dude i didn't know the woman was taken but yeah she's all yours friends because my schedule
when she finds him later she tries to explain herself and he ends up forgiving her and they kiss
can i tell you something really hot
do you want a number madison sits on cassie's front porch waiting for her after days of calling
and leaving messages because she was worried something happened with the guy that cassie had
spoken to cassie admits that nothing happened and that the man only took her to bed but he didn't
touch her otherwise madison is relieved but then she speaks to cassie privately and admits that she
was wrong for not believing nina and she reveals that a video of al raping her head circulated
which she kept on an old phone madison gives cassie the phone and orders her never to contact
her again although a bit reluctant cassie watches the video apart from her horrid seeing nina rape
she is most mortified when she sees that brian was there watching the event unfold cassie goes
to ryan's job to confront him about the video and him being there she threatens to send it to
everybody in his contacts including the parents of his patients unless he tells her where al is
holding his bachelor party ryan becomes scared at the implications of what cassie is planning to do
but he gives her the address she also warns him not to let any of the guys know she is coming
on the night of the bachelor party cassie dresses as a stripper and goes to the cabin
where the party is being held after getting the other guys drunk and drugged cassie takes
owl up to the bedroom after telling him that's the only way she'll get paid she handcuffs him
to the bed post before bringing up what he did to nina al uses standard excuses to defend his
actions but cassie doesn't want to hear it she grabs a scalpel and attempts to carve
nina's name into al's stomach but he overpowers her and smothers cassie to death with a pillow
the next morning al's friend joe comes upstairs to find out crying with cassie's body next to him
joe resolves to help out get rid of the body so that the other guys will not know what happened
they take cassie and bury her under a pile of logs that they then set on fire
days later cassie's parents file a missing person's report the lead detective visits ryan's
office since he knows they were romantically involved after he learns cassie disappeared ryan
tries to save his skin by suggesting she may have done something to herself that he was unaware of
it is the day of al's wedding after the ceremony we see green receiving
an envelope from cassie along with a message in the event of her disappearance
suddenly ryan and everyone else at the party receives the video of owl raping nina
ryan receives pre-written text from cassie saying you didn't think this was the end
did you it is now enjoy the wedding police arrive and after surveying the area they
find cassie's remains which contains the nina half of her friendship heart necklace
