Giancarlo Esposito's directorial debut is a movie not for everyone. It's a grisly take on the world of reality TV, and how the genre keeps pushing the boundaries in an attempt to get better ratings.
Many viewers will not be able to stomach some of the scenes and will get repulsed by the morbid imagery.
Esposito as Mason Washington hits it out of the park with his portrayal of a man desperate to change his fortunes. He's a family man and wants the best for his wife and children.
Sarah Wayne Callies' role as Karina is crucial because she's also struggling in her own way. She used to have a bond with her brother but then something happens.
Josh Duhamel as Adam Rogers is more than just a cocky reality TV host. He thinks he's doing the right thing in his mind, but then loses the plot. This is where the greed for ratings come into play.
All in all, it's a movie that has nothing to do with "The Social Network". It's a completely different movie, and it satirizes the reality TV genre in a way that you haven't seen before. Sure, it might repulse you but that's because it hits close to home.
