Based on the 1964 story -When this man dies- by Lawrence Block, -If Something Happens- is a delightful mystery drama. The film revolves around a young woman named Julie Reynolds, who is trying to survive in the big city and receives anonymous emails promising her money if something happens to a stranger meaning, if they die.

Written by Sara Beinat and Rajiv Whabi, the plot of the film is unquestionably intriguing. The writers pen a compelling script, layering out, in a way exposing different emotions, virtues, and motives of the human race. The screenplay Sara Beinat is deliberately paced and eventually turns out to be a slow-burner. A half-hour into the film. I wondered why the film is slow and shot so realistically, but as the film progresses you realize that the makers want you to experience the drama and the internal conflict, and then before you know it, the film grabs hold of you, engaging you the fullest and rewarding your patience as it concludes.
