Written by the same AI that it vilifies. Girlboss action with a sci-fi twist that we've seen a million times already. The most recycled and cliché story you'll ever watch. Within the first 15 minutes, a mech suit gives you its pronouns.

I honestly can't with this garbage. The best I can say about it is that it was just about watchable and the effects are about average.

At 2 hours, it felt longer than Oppenheimer and Killers Of The Flower Moon, combined. What a slog. There are 200 other girlboss films that are better than this and I wouldn't give any of them more than 4 stars.

A strong, intelligent female lead and a cliché story are just about all it takes to make a big budget movie these days.

Astounding how a large studio with a substantial budget, can't do it better than one guy making YouTube videos. Look up the JCS video on youtube. It's around the same length but goes into this from the criminal psychology angle and absolutely nails it. Netflix tried too hard (as they often do) to ramp up the drama and cinematography and in turn essentially fall flat when it comes to actually giving you what you want from a story like this.

The story of this horrific murder is organically dramatic enough that the erie music is completely unnecessary and takes a lot away from the organic darkness of this case.

Essentially, it's too long for how much it leaves to assumption and too dramatic for how much it takes away from the incident.

Watch the JCS video instead.

This is essentially paint by numbers found footage, but they didn't have all the colours. Bad acting, terrible story, super convenient plot progression and an ending that is so anti-climactic that it's almost an ironic climax. It's like they had half an idea that they wrote on the back of a receipt but they had to return the item that the receipt was for so filmed this from memory.

On a mildly positive note, it was slightly suspenseful at a few very rare points but that's me being very genrous.

I love found footage films for all of their faults and can usually find some charm in them but this is using the genre to cover up it's short comings.

You'd have to pay me to watch this again, and it wouldn't be cheap.
