Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

PROS: I really liked the ending. It was short, sweet, and to the point. And boy doesn't it make a point. It really restated what the director wanted to tell the audience. It was an actual resolution, which is what an ending should be. The goal is to resolve the "problem" that the movie presents, and it actually does that. The other thing I liked was how detailed the whole story was. Every corner you could've looked at it from was thought out and was fool proof. The killer in this film had those attributes. Every action the characters took fit into who they were. There was nothing that left big question marks which was masterful because therefore nothing took away from the fear of the movie.CONS: There was nothing really frustrating with the movie. From time to time the acting was dull, but they were still amazing and delivered the same raw genuine emotion. The start was a little slow, maybe if the intensity took place, maybe even, 10 minutes earlier I think it would've cut out some unimportant material.www.chorror.com

I've watched this twice.The first time I saw it I was not impressed, the acting was sub-par and the plot ludicrous but I'd probably say I was entertained enough not to be annoyed by it but that's how far I would stretch it.I thought I would give it a second chance a couple years later (today) as I had it already and sometimes movies are better on the rewatch BUT this is not one of those movies, in fact it was really dull and this time I truly was annoyed.The beginning starts with a ridiculous statement saying: "This movie is based on true stories told by users on social media network sites" which is beyond stupid because there is no way no one could even try to verify anything said by random accounts on message-boards and such.However I think no one when this is over will think that this movie could in anyway be based on a true stories.I believe potentially what the truth factor relies on is the back- stories of the characters, who's personal information get leaked in the movie very much like what can happen on a message-board and the actual set-up with the plane and the game is like a metaphor for the big bad internet and the trolls and such that can do you internet harm.And that's cute and all I suppose but it still doesn't make this movie any better, with it's often tediously slow pace and characters that are really hard to care for.

This movie is in the tradition of the SAW sequences but a lot less attractive/interesting, less bloody OK but I rather watch a SAW movie than this one. Especially the very unsatisfying end. After watching the end you get the bad feeling like "I watched this movie for nothing", a regret to take time to watch it. The movie starts OK, interesting, in the beginning you think this movie exposes the threats of social media but along the way it gets too ugly and unrealistic. Forget about this movie, it's worthless. The thing I really oppose is the threaten of a child by the "bad guy", should be forbidden in movies like this. Really awful.

A friend recommended this movie to me and since we both like the thriller genre I decided to give it a go.The movie is a bit like a mix of the B-movie Turbulence (which are so bad that they amuse me), Unbreakable and Saw, and the games Manhunt. The plot is about 4 people that win a competition where the prize is a trip to New York. When they get on the plane all hell breaks loose.Without spoiling anything I can say that there's a game they must play, and the game is made up of what they've done on a social network. The social network is facebook but they've obviously renamed it.The whole plot is far fetched but in a setting where it shouldn't be, the characters are unrealistic and the acting isn't that great in my opinion. I found myself not caring much about what the reason is for whatever happens because the characters weren't believable. Some of it is so stupid that I wish I could tell you without spoiling. I don't recommend it, watch a better movie.
