It's not just dull, this movie is too convenient to be anything other than staged. It's lacks the happenstance of being an accidental documentary and thereby sullies its own credibility.

It's lacks the happenstance of being an accidental documentary and thereby sullies its own credibility. The trailer told a tale of thrilling intrigue that the actual movie could never deliver. Thus, the promotion felt like a lie just as the premise feels like a lie.

Not nearly as good as it could have been. Predictable "twist", lacklustre ending, debatable whether the whole thing is even genuine. My advice, if you're going to watch this, don't pay to do so.
