Julie R @JulieDR 2d This film is actually very smart and interesting. I understand the negative reviews because it’s labeled as a thriller, and you expect something very different. But I actually loved being surprised by how the story unfolded and the point behind the film. Acting was excellent as well. See more Matt L @laxlilly Jul 7 I like that the movie depicted a job that I have never considered before- the moderators tasked with absorbing the worst content online so the rest of us never have to. The film captures the slow deterioration of these employees, and that central idea is genuinely compelling. The problem is that the premise was already clear from the trailer, and the actual story built around it wasn’t interesting. It follows a moderator’s fixation over a disturbing video, and her declining mental health. She turns into a vigilante who is obsessed with finding the creator of the disturbing video. That character transformation should have weighed on me, but I found myself apathetic to her suffering. The story itself just wasn’t convincing enough to buy into. The lead actress, was good, the material was just meh. I think the ending intended to be serious, maybe even frightening, but it came off almost comical instead. When the movie ended, my first thought was “that was disappointing.” See more Martin F @manekenthe Jun 6 content moderation as a thriller premise, genuinely unsettling on paper. the opening pulls you in and lili reinhart does what she can. but the characters never really develop, the script keeps circling around the tension it promises and never delivers, and the ending is a mess. what could have been a disturbing, under-the-skin thriller quietly becomes a bore. i wouldn't last a day at that job, but I also wouldn't rewatch this film.

I expected a thrilling story about a woman seeking vigilante justice - but the actual movie was slow, drawn out, and mostly uneventful. The concept had lots of potential - but it leaves you thinking ‘umm… that’s it?’ Follow the audience score on this one.

Law enforcement that waits for a body before acting. And a woman who decides that sometimes the only way to stop a bad thing is with another bad thing.

Y hasta cierto punto lo cumple, pero en el medio de eso la película surfea por otros temas que se siente más como para rellenar que porque la trama lo necesite. Como que te quiere decir que la prota es la única que se preocupa (y hace algo) y el resto no entonces no interesan, pero de la nada sí importan y luego dejan de hacerlo y son relleno de escenas. Esto afecta a la dinámica pareciendo en varios momentos en clásico momento en que la protagonista toma las riendas y va a hacer lo que viene tanteando desde hace casi 1 hora, y se queda a mitad de camino muchísimas veces afectando directamente el ritmo, siendo una ensalada de escenas que intentan unirse mediante un muy pequeño hilo te cocer.
