Now this is an Indie movie but for the budget it was well made. Scenes in great locations and great acting camera shots and colors gives it the feel of a twisted dream or nightmare. It got me immersed into this nightmare reality that may not be that far from our reality. Mind control and the ability to implant thoughts to mind control and take away free will is scary cause it may be a fiction that's not that far fetched from reality. It's a thought provoking Sci-fi that shouldn't be missed Expand

It's an interesting concept executed in a mildly annoying fashion.

The central idea, our "surveillance society" taken to the nth degree, is a good one. The idea that a struggling garage tech startup could go horribly wrong isn't so very farfetched and makes for a compelling story.

The overly angsty and mundane relationship drama threaded throughout is dull and unnecessary. It weighs down the second act and wrecks what might have been an intriguing sci-fi thriller.

Added to the narrative issues is the writer/director's use of colored filters (like Traffic but without a clear point) and overreliance on the close-up shots during rather dull and passionless conversations.

Overall the film takes itself far too seriously which is a pity because it is very clever in concept and resolution.
