If you like seeing local landmarks on the big screen, consider taking in the locally-shot film “Never Saw It Coming,” which screens as part of Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival Thursday at 6 p.m.
Based on the novel by best-selling author Linwood Barclay, “Never Saw It Coming” follows the story of con artist Keisha Ceylon (Hampshire) who is suffering through a toxic relationship with an abusive boyfriend, while barely being able to make ends meet.
As a source of income, she offers bogus psychic services, pretending to be able to locate a missing child or spouse for a fee. She is not above setting things up with the supposed disappeared person in advance in order to con the parents or spouse out of their hard-earned cash.
Unfortunately, she stumbles into a case involving a rich man named Wendell Garfield (Roberts) to provide information about his missing wife, which leads him to suspect that she knows he has committed a heinous crime.
In an out-of-control spiral, he sets out to stop her from ever being able to expose his secret.
