Disappointed! The idea of the film was good - executed in a miserable way.
Set design - meh
Costume design - Bad
Acting - more than enough room for improvement
Script/ dialogue - a lot of cliché tech and law terminology
Music/score - okay
Overall felt like a high school project, so I can imagine it would be convincing for 12yr olds.
It was like watching one of those fake prank videos on Facebook - just irritatingly pretentious.
The events are said to take place on the dark web - I'm confident that zero research was conducted regarding the etiquette and culture surrounding the dark web and 'red rooms'.
Same goes for law enforcement - their meetings are cheesy, the swat team are cringe and felt like I was watching a YouTube skit or a SNL sketch. I'm impressed at how little effort can be made into a movie that potentially had a great film writer.
Everything felt really vague! ... Not to be confused with ambiguity (in which case would be somewhat suspenseful)
It is a watered down version of something that could've been tasty.
Everything felt a little too clean and 'on the nose' with no depth or character development.
It's like when Crime programs like CSI used to do that thing where they click one button to "enhance image" ... Like bruh 😆 that's the feeling I got when watching this - like we're just supposed to accept it haha.
Gave 2 stars because it MIGHT be funny if you're high.
