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.
