2020 · Film · ★ 10

Released in 2020, Scales is a thriller and drama film directed by Nathan Hannawin, running about 73 minutes. “How Do You Weigh Trust?” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Scales is a tense, claustrophobic drama that spends one evening with four characters, who are trapped in a combustable boiling pot of an apartment. American boxer, Darnell, his PR manager and girlfriend, Maria, troubled entrepreneur Adam and drug dealer Keith are forced to question their relationships and loyalties, as sinister secrets come to the fore, threatening dangerous consequences. Unsettling and unexpected, this dark tale of lies and manipulation will lead audiences on a voyeuristic and ill-fated journey that, like the four characters, their sensibility may not want to be a part of, but their curiosity certainly will, begging the question: 'How do you weigh trust?'
Who’s in it. Scales stars Anthony Vander as Darnell, Nicola Roffe as Maria, Kamal Simpson as Keith and Kane Surry as Adam, among others.
