I walked into this theater expecting a nice thrilling action movie, but nor was a thrilled or entertained. The trailer makes this movie look so much better than it is.
So this Saw meet Live Free or Die Hard movie was about a hacker who opened up a website which streamed live torcher. The more views the website gets, the higher the counter and the faster the victim dies.
A very unique idea which takes the good parts out of Saw and Die Hard, and yet manages to pull of a pointless movie.
Each kill on the website was all interesting to watch, since it was done Saw style, just with decent taste. The whole cop finding evil hacker gave this movie a very Live Free or Die Hard feel to it.
From the 20 minute mark of this film, I knew what the ending would be before even being introduced to the climax. It was so predictable that a times I thought the director did it purposely. If the movie took a totally different turn half way through then maybe I would of enjoyed it more, but knowing what was going to happen next totally took away the thrill.
The acting in the movie was very strong, and this was the first time in a while which I have seen a movie with a happy ending - but a happy predictable and pointless ending.
Maybe if this movie was scripted better (a lot of the dialog was extremely cheesy)and the plot had a nice twist, than maybe I would call this movie a good thriller, but for now it's thumbs-down. This movie had great potential.
Once you have seen the movie, you should visit www.killwithme.com - it's very funny.
