But, as per usual when it comes to thrillers like this one, I got mad at one of the characters for making a poor decision. Thankfully, this time around, I got to talk to the actor who played her about it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whitney Peak plays the role of Dakota, a young woman who receives the opportunity early in <em>Thrash<\/em> to evacuate from a deadly hurricane that ends up being infested by sharks. Dakota, however, has a moment of panic and turns her neighbor down, which ultimately leads her to have to fight for her life. When <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/netflix-thrash-ending-wild-had-011007293.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:CinemaBlend talked to the Thrash cast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;CinemaBlend talked to the Thrash cast&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">CinemaBlend talked to the <em>Thrash <\/em>cast<\/a>, I asked Peak about this choice. Here\u2019s how she defended it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For Dakota, the fact that she even left her house to walk less than 10 minutes down to go get food, that in itself was a giant feat for her. She&#8217;s dealt with a lot of loss, and she&#8217;s so young, and she just needs to feel safe and has kind of not really figured out how to find that outside of her house, her safe space where she has all her things and she knows what she can do and whatever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I think what\u2019s interesting about her answer in association with the movie is we really get thrown into the action before we know much of Dakota&#8217;s history. So while I could surmise she\u2019s going through it, and is practically alone when the hurricane hits, I really appreciate the clarity from Whitney Peak about why she shuts down while in imminent danger. And, as she added:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So I think when she leaves, she doesn&#8217;t go with the neighbor because she thinks this interaction is already too much. There&#8217;s too much unknown here. There&#8217;s too much that I can&#8217;t control if I come with you and your family and people that I don&#8217;t know. And I would feel safer just going back home. Also, she doesn&#8217;t believe she\u2019s accepted the intensity [of the situation]. Also, she doesn\u2019t believe this hurricane is gonna be a real thing. She&#8217;s just kind of like, \u2018Nah, they&#8217;re being dramatic again.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the opening scene of <em>Thrash<\/em> with Dakota really stressed me out and had me saying, \u201cGo with them, girl!\u201d I think Whitney Peak makes a really good point about the courage it can take for some people to completely leave home, even when all signs point to doing so. I\u2019m sure there have been plenty of cases of people simply not evacuating during a hurricane for reasons like this, and the character of Dakota is an example of this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As <em>Thrash <\/em>goes on, Dakota finds her bravery in other ways, such as helping out Phoebe Dynevor\u2019s Lisa, who is a nine-month pregnant woman who\u2019s also caught in the storm. This was my first time seeing Whitney Peak in a movie, and her awesome performance has me excited for her role in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/google.com\/search?q=cinemablend+sunrise+on+the+reaping&amp;oq=cinemablend++sunrise+on+the+reaping&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg8MgYIAhBFGDzSAQg2MzA5ajBqNKgCALACAA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the next Hunger Games movie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;the next Hunger Games movie&quot;}\" class=\"link \">the next <em>Hunger Games <\/em>movie<\/a>, <em>Sunrise On The Reaping<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Perhaps <em>Thrash<\/em> is a cautionary tale, too, regarding what can happen if you don\u2019t listen to evacuation warnings!
