3/10

Negative;
This feels and most likely is a long commerical for a online dating with a certain site in focus - you simply dont get away from that in this movie and it leaves a permanent mark on it.

Positive
Cinematography
Acting:
Some okey acting, the overacting as innocent victim (it does come off more as she's acting someone who has another agenda - in a bad manner) which is the oposite of the desired outcome atleast for the plotline by Stephanie Szostak is not good though even though some parts she pulls off perfectly.
Jed Rees made an okey performance but with lacking emotional high in the final scene.

I don't get why Will Sasso is as underutilised, as he is, in Hollywood, it's the same thing with Richard Coyle (not in this movie) which you do see now and again in a few actual good movies (no big productions though). Both have huge potential in X/comedy movies.

Ignorance is only a bliss if you haven't reached awareness.
My imdb posts are getting altered.

Stephanie Szostak made me feel like she was always hiding something, the whole time. I couldn't understand the "connection" between them that was big enough to murder for.

But except for that part it was a decent movie.
