Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe from the COVID-19. This one was exhilarating my heart was beating so fast the entire time I cannot describe it in words. It’s also sad I guess but I think that the violence gets your heart pumping and gets you excited more than sad.
The movie is confined to the screen of a laptop. The characters are on a video call with each other so we also see other locations but the camera never once leaves the screen of the laptop. The story follows a guy Matais who has a stolen laptop. There are already a bunch of accounts on it which he ignores at first and instead accesses his own accounts to talk to his friends and his deaf girlfriend. At first sight Matais is actually a really caring guy he developed an app so that he could talk to his deaf girlfriend in sign language. We don’t get to dive much into any of the other characters just that one of them is skilled at computers, another is a conspiracy theorist, 2 lesbian girlfriends and a DJ. The characters are not at all just there each of their characteristics are used against them throughout the movie.
The characterization of Matais is really well done in the short time of the movie we see that he’s caring and that he tries to do the right thing and fight against the hacker through the movie. He’s shown to be desperate when things come to saving his friends and especially to his girlfriend. Over the course of the movie he gets desperate but also manages to maintain a cool head and uses tricks to get the hacker off him even if it’s for a while. Things get intense when the killing starts and boy is it good. The sheer number of ways and the cleverness of the killings are amazing. There are a lot of twisted things and if it’s definetly not for the weak hearted. The movie also doesn’t shy away from violence rather makes it a core theme for the progression of the plot.
The way the movie plays out also phenomenal it’s smart as hell. Nothing doesn’t make sense. There is a lot of hacking involved and a bunch of computer stuff but in the end you could say that there’s the biggest twist of all at the end. It’s dark and it’s twisted with not a light moment in between. Once the action starts it just keeps on going. The violence and the clever little mind games are well and good to get your heart pumping and keep you at the edge of your seat.
The movie you could say is more about violence and how an innocent little sin can turn into something huge and how some people are so sick that they enjoy violence that they do to innocent people. The horrors of the Dark Web are also shown here and it focuses heavily on cyber security and that kind of stuff. The movie should be used as more of a warning to keep our stuff protected and not go places where we aren’t supposed to go.
The ending is exhilarating though sad if you sit with it for a while but the film is basically a lesson and an hour and half rush for your blood. It’s good, cleverly made, has good characters and also has a moral. Overall I think that if you’re looking for a quick watch at night with no loose ends left you should for sure watch this movie. However if you’re the type that gets disgusted quite easily then I think you better sit through it with someone. This movie is a perfect pick for a thrill before bed but beware it might make you paranoid or even instill fear in your heart.
So that is it for this post guys hope you got some value from this. Thank you guys for reading to the end hit me up on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn with your thoughts and if you have any ideas which I should write about. Stay safe from the COVID-19. Thank you again and I’ll see you all next week.
