Cam

The movie starts well. You might be waiting for the part from synopsis which says that a look-alike takes over, but the initial character development of Madeline does help set the tone of how important the job is for Madeline. Her transformation from less confident to dealing with a difficult problem is nicely sketched.

There is a weird scene in the movie, where friend of Madeline, asks Madeline to take pics of her and then later when she looks at the snap, she says, "I look so blotchy" and proceeds to fix her photo, even though Madeline repeatedly clarifies that she looks fine. This is weird because this scene is highlighted and it creates a feeling that later in the plot, it might show you that her friend was involved somehow. Anyways, that what I thought.

5 is for good cinematography. Could have been better with some more skip-the-beat thrills.

What an interesting story line that left me unsure if I enjoyed the film..

Cam girl Lola (Madeline Brewer) has the thirst and desperation to please her online audience into pushing her up the popularity leader board. Lola doesn't really mention she's doing the job for more money, but to get closer and closer to the #1 spot.... I mean if it was me and I was on cam it would simply be for the money, my goal wouldn't be to be the Queen B. Lola discovers that there is an impostor online who has taken her identity and fooling her followers into donating more coins.

The first half of this film is really interesting, but as it gets closer to the end the explanation for what is happening is kind of ... a let down. An interesting story needs and interesting twist, but this film kinda lacks that.

Overall the film was still a good watch, but just don't expect a mind blowing ending.

Why can't Lola tell everyone she was HACKED...geez! What is up with this movie!

'Cam' was a film that was always going to be judged very heavily by how it ended. The reason for this is that it sets itself up in such a bizarre and fascinating way that the audience is desperate to get a satisfying conclusion. The film is very similar to 2013's 'Enemy' in terms of the story, but is also very different to that film in the sense that that film had a definitive purpose, reasoning and point.

I was actually captivated while watching 'Cam' and that is the best thing that this film has going for it. It is a very interesting watch. The pacing is great and the story is mysterious and well told. The problem though was that I was left with a bitter, unsatisfied feeling at the end. I wanted more and I wanted there to have been a purpose for spending these 90 minutes of my life watching this film. Even some very bad films over the years have at least had a purpose.

I'm a little bit torn on this film as you can possibly tell. I could've liked it a lot more than I ultimately did, but I also could've liked it a lot less. I think overall I would lean towards advising people not to spend their time on this one. The ending is simply too weak.

Most of the movie was interesting, bu everything goes down at the end. Nothing is explained, and you end up feeling that you wasted your time
