Surprisingly Good
LLgoatJ21 May 2019
To be honest, was not expecting much from this but was pleasantly surprised. Tells the story of a struggling actress and three friends who track down a hacker who has hacked footage of one of the friends doing "personal" things on a webcam. Its a good story and well written. The acting is mostly good. Although its not really a laugh out loud comedy, it is amusing. It keeps your interest and doesn't really have any slow bits to make you lose attention. It struggles a bit at the end. Overall its a good watch. Its a low budget indie film (or comes over that way) but is better to watch than a lot of big budget hollywood films.

Indy?

This appars to be a low budget indy film shot presumably in NYC, or Brooklyn (BTW, for REAL New Yorkers, Brooklyn is NOT NYC.)

It's actually well written and acted. Suprisingly. Have no idea who any of these actors are, but they were pretty OK. Usually indy mvies that don't go the horror/supernatural/slaher route really suck. This is because we need a known actor or two to relate to, whereas horror films just need zombies or slasher to entertain us.

In this case it didnt matter. I actually was engaged and laughed from time to time too.

The blond, Jessica Copeland wasnt a very strong actor, but I overlooked it.

Movie reminds me of early Kevin Smith.

The only thing I really hated was the shaky cam. I really really really HATE shaky cam shots. They are so f'ing annoying.

Well done.

Unexpectedly GOOD!

These actors in this movie, male and female, all are highly talented. None of them felt like "Acting" but just felt "Real". And the Dialog? Very very natural and fluently smooth, that's maybe one the main reasons why all the actors in this movie could act so naturally, because the dialog is so natural and so logic, it made all the actors act so naturally and "IN" it. The only bad cast in this movie was that ZNet guy, he acted poorly and didn't look like an important senior executive but a complete jerk. The way he walked was like he's walking with his pants halfway down. He's the only weak role in this almost perfect movie.

I don't know why this movie seemed to be overlooked by many, yet still got a very high 8.2 point score. I strongly recommend that you guys give it a try, you won't be disappointed and would have a fantastic view time.

Anyway, taking a black plastic tape to block the camera on your laptop, or remove the after-market camera from the top of your monitor, or just unplug it if you don't want to use it to have a face time with somebody. Another good reason to add one more Star like I did here.

Bad sign when the movie has different dates.

I see Rotten Tomatoes shows this film as 2019 with no reviews, but here it shows 2017 with a high rating and a few reviews. I watched it to a point and found it to be not worth the high reviews, do people that work on it do this ?

Turned off after 10 minutes.

A load of thirty something wooden guys not being funny.

Pity as the storyline is good but poorly delivered and not funny !!
