Loan Boy (2023)

what kind of plot is that?

i get it, ig they trynna tell the reality of loan sharks or whatever but the plot was soo lacking im dumbfounded, for example the FL’s friend, why were they not friends anymore? she really was stalking her going wherever she went but i get that she was trying to help her but still? also i dont get how the bully/villian made the students not pay back, he just said trust me and then everyone went to the police what the hell was that? then the ending so so cofunsed, they showed some short clips that didn’t even make sense except that epilogue, the loan shark is gonna do his filthy work nevertheless… the only thing i actually liked was the acting and the actors i love them all they are the only reason i watched it lol
