Girl in the Video

The message it's portraying is clear and shows the horror of social media. How they can safeguard the internet appears to be impossible. It's scary to know that children can easily be manipulated and believe everything at face value. Evil people prey on the vulnerable and these days, they have the tools to make it easy for them to carry out their depraved crimes.

So yes the film opens your eyes to the fact, in my opinion the acting in this film is dire! The characters didn't portray any genuine emotion, it wasn't gripping, it was a plodding beginning, middle and end film but happy of course she survived.

I thought this was a good movie and I pray will teach youngsters about the dangers of social media, I thought the acting was good throughout despite all the other negative reviews on here. Cush Jumbo has been in a lot of excellent British dramas and is a good actor even with an American accent. Tia May Watson was also very good playing the unfortunate victim in this movie.

The one question I have is why all the actors are acting American when the they are all British and the movie was filmed in Norfolk in the UK. Why not just have it as a movie based in The UK?

I'm keen to hear from Americans the thoughts on The Brits American accents.

Give the movie a chance.

I saw the many bad reviews and despite them still gave the movie a chance, I wish I didn't. I want my hour and twenty seven minutes back, the last 6 minutes are the only interesting parts of the movie and it just ends in the most disappointing way. The whole cast of the movie can't act apart from agent fry. It's inspired by true events yet it's filmed in such a way that you can't help but think that it's fiction, there's serious lack of emotional connection to any character whatsoever. The mother and daughter are both as naive as each other and it's incredibly infuriating. Don't waste your time.

Good film showing the results of the new generation not respecting the parents and the parents knowing the worst of life but finding it hard to relay to their kids when surviving life is the most important thing to keep your family alive but they won't understand until they are parents themselves. All realistic to a point but Kristy is literally in buckle restraints on separate wrists in front of her body, so she could literally undo them and run away, even Matthew Marsden said the line that the kidnapper has not restrained her properly. Maybe that was a nod to the film makers not being realistic or just because they couldn't afford to use zip ties at the time but I feel they wouldn't of used that intentionally as we would all try and escape. But overall a good film showing that you think your kids are safe with them not being outside among the danger we know is out there but actually the danger is literally at their finger tips inside your own home.

The characters ask dumb questions or say things that wouldn't matter in such a situation. When asked for a description of the boy Krissy was talking to online, her friend only said "dark hair and 17." Uh, usually the first identifier is race, something that narrows down the possibilities right away.

The kidnapping came too soon. Viewers need time to get to know the character before we care about what happens to them.

And I agree with another poster. If the movie is filmed in the UK and all the actors are British...why not just set it in the UK? Crazy.

Last but not least, why is no care given to black actress's hair? There are plenty of black stylists who are available to work on movies. And what's more, most black stylists can do all kinds of hair because black people HAVE all types of hair from straight to kinky. Most non-black stylists don't know how to do any type of hair but their own.
