I must say that this movie was a very good idea, and I was intrigued about seeing it in the movie theater. So I took my boyfriend against his will to see the movie with me. The problem with this was he is very tech savvy. The premise for the movie states the villian is untraceable, but there are many factors that prove otherwise.
Basically the movie starts at the very beginning with a kitten, and the closer the kitten gets to the milk, it gets shocked. This is to test the waters and see how many hits the sight is capable of getting, and as more and more people hit the site, the quicker the kitten dies. The movie is basically punishing the fans of gore, as many believe its a joke, and others are showing the villian to be a hero.
It is an interesting idea as I stated before. I have to give it credit, because the premise was very good. Diane Lane and her partner try to go after the guy but cant trace him as quickly as they have been able to track other internet predators, and the risk of their timeliness stands a persons life. The villian soon makes the stakes personal and it becomes an obsession.
Note to people with weak stomaches, there are a few scenes where you may need to look down. :( It is worth seeing, but not worth owning. |
