This is very much an MTV type 'found footage'-esque film, which would mainly appeal to a teenage audience, I'd imagine. Its pretty high octane, once it gets going and it doesn't take long to get going, all things considered. It's very muchThis is very much an MTV type 'found footage'-esque film, which would mainly appeal to a teenage audience, I'd imagine. Its pretty high octane, once it gets going and it doesn't take long to get going, all things considered. It's very much 'in your face' style - fair enough. I found it distracting trying to read some of the live stream comments that appear in the bottom left hand corner constantly - it uses the split screen feature a lot too, with multiple camera views showing different angles (of the same place usually).

While there is undoubtedly violence, some bloody violence, depicted, there isn't much in the way of especially gory or explicit detail shown (thankfully). I suppose its more about a moral story than it is about showing every inch of everything that happens - its obvious enough what becomes of certain people, we don't really need to see everything in complete detail, I reckon.

The themes interest me but it does have a bit of a trashy, throw away feel to it, which will alienate many people I imagine. There's no doubt there have already been people in real life who have ended up committing dangerous acts partly to get some form of online notoriety, so it should perhaps make for some sobering thoughts but this film felt a bit too immature and doesn't really question or answer things fully in the way that perhaps me, as an adult in her 30s, would ideally like. So yeah, maybe I am a bit too old for this kind of film but what can I say? I remember (just about!) life before the internet was available to all, life as a kid prior to social media. I've got numerous social media accounts and I dont have the biggest number of followers ever I suppose but im glad to say I've never felt the drive to pursue my supposed owed '5 minutes of fame', though I can understand some people do crave it.

This is nearly a good film but not quite, in my opinion. It poses more questions than it answers but it'd be a good starting point for discussing the points it covers.… Expand
