A good movie

Posted : 7 years, 1 month ago on 5 February 2017 07:03

It's only recently that I came across this movie and I was rather impressed by its rating on IMDb (7.6) so I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be one of these hyperlink movies but while I used to love this genre (Alejandro González Iñárritu for example made a couple of great movies using this method), I'm afraid that the gimmick has become terribly overused nowadays. Still, I have to admit that this movie was easily one of the best hyperlink features I have seen in a very long time. Indeed, all the tales involved were actually pretty strong which is something quite rare. Unfortunately, it was also the main problem with this movie, each of the story was so good and interesting that they could have easily made a whole movie focusing on only one of these tales and the end-result would have worked even better. It didn't help that all the stories were only loosely connected with each other. Eventually, the most effective storyline was the one involving the journalist and the webcam boy and I was above all impressed by Max Thieriot who was at the same time charismatic but also terribly confused and vulnerable. I can imagine that they could have delivered a terrific movie by focusing only on this story. Anyway, to conclude, even if it didn't completely win me over, it was still pretty good and I think it is definitely worth a look.

In the world of seen & heard, but not aware of ...

Anybody remember the 2010 movie 'Trust'? Well, this is another version consisting of many different and connected stories. Very nicely written script about cyber crimes. This kind of movie is much needed in the present world because the nuisance growing rapidly everywhere. You would get many similar movies to this like 'Identity Thief' etc., but not serious as the reality. So this movie is one of the kind that the modern world had seen with the concept of existing online culture.

How the common people are affected by the identity theft, cyber bully and illegal activity is what the movie revolves. A teenage loner was tormented because of misused online friendship that put his life on a stake. A hard working couple fall in a deep sorrow state after their savings were snatched by a hacker. A local tv journalist gives a career best news report, but that severely hurts her source. All these incidents are interconnected in some way, but how is the remaining.

The story also states the father's and husband's failed responsibility in their respective families. An orphan who has to take an alternative route to survive the odds, which is against the law. Very few scenes were intense, instead call it an intense I would say the reality of lifestyle. All these tales were packed with sufficient quantity of melodramas. You would enjoy whole movie, but the ending scene will put you on your seat's edge. Purely the 21st century's movie and a must see by who familiar with the world of internet.
