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.
