Rosario Dawson Leads Chilling Psychic Murder Mystery in Unmerciful Good Fortune

In November 2025, the supernatural thriller Unmerciful Good Fortune has assembled an impressive cast, with Scott Eastwood (Fast X, Fate of the Furious) and Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking) joining Rosario Dawson in the lead roles. The film is written and directed by veteran film and TV editor Tirsa Hackshaw, making her feature directorial debut.

Unmerciful Good Fortune is adapted from award-winning playwright Edwin Sánchez's work. Dawson plays Maritza Cruz, a high-profile celebrity attorney, who is pulled into a headline-making case involving Fatima, a cunning young waitress accused of serial poisoning and murdering 28 people. Fatima's defense takes a dark turn when she claims to have the psychic ability to see how someone will die when she touches them, and that she is killing people to prevent a "fate worse than death." As Maritza initially rejects Fatima's claims as delusional, strange occurrences begin to make her question the truth.

With the life of the last victim at stake, Maritza descends into a cat-and-mouse journey through ganglands, mental asylums, and a fanatical Santeria cult, racing against time to unravel Fatima's secret and unveil a horrifying conspiracy that endangers Maritza's own family and sanity.
