based on true events, WTF ?


The movie was good until the crocodile started killing people, I mean if he killed the people who watched the video of his daughter's suicide and commented on it then that would be ( understandable ? ) I don't know but at least it would be a punishment or something..

Movie just sucks period. It's like they had film reel to burn and wanted to make a movie...and just sorta made it up as they went along. Nothing ever comes of the 'hacker character' that cheated his way onto the flight. Nothing ever comes of his hacking skills. Infact neither the plot nor ANY of the characters develop after the first 5 minutes.

Stale and uninteresting film.

I disagree, I thought it was just the opposite of everything you said. Thankfully I didn't read your review before I watched this movie.

Make sure you add "stale and unintersting film In my opinion" I enjoyed every min of this film

A very average film at best but I think it was just trying to highlight the kind of things that go on with Social Media.

Bullying groups
Sick videos
Hacking
Mocking
etc

Decent subject wish it was handled better and not in such an extreme manner.

To be honest in this world scams are pulled every single day and while what this guy did was over the top it is possible that someone could do what this guy did if he had the right kind of money and the right kind of people helping him. It could be a true event someday.

In regards to the movie saying it was based on true events if you are going to say that then point to some specifics in real life. I understand what marct009 said and yes they were trying to point out that maybe people should think of the consequences in the future that could happen from participating in bullying groups, watching sick videos, hacking and more on the internet. Heck the NSA is watching and guaranteed there is some form of the NSA in every country. Anyway I get what they were trying to do but I wish they didn't say based on true events without it being more specific and maybe having extras on the dvd or blu-ray talking of this.

Watch the movie and you should know. It was stated that apparently, this film was based on real events mentioned on social media websites.

Exactly, true stories told on messageboards... Just like I can tell a story that my penis is attached to my nose and then perhaps one day Lasse Hallstrom will make a movie about it and having the same message about it being a true story... based on something someone said online

We crash into each other, just so we can feel something.
