What a dreadful movie that was. [spoilers]


1. Brosnan's acting was painful to endure. I haven't seen his Bond movies yet, but in this particular movie he's done a really bad job, unless he was supposed to play an idiotic twat.
2. Well connected millionaire with smart house, smart car and smartphone isn't smart enough to secure himself and his properties from loonies like Ed. And he doesn't have bodyguards stationed at every inch of that smart house of his.
3. Cameras everywhere in the house, bathrooms included, connected to the internet, without any sort of manual cover for said cams. Just, no.
4. Ed's character was cut out of Hollywood's Book of Stereotypes, glued with glue stick and slapped happily onto the big picture.
5. Showing the process of hacking as green text on black background. We're two decades past Matrix, please stop.
6. Regan's daughter was a horrendous *beep* Very good portrayal of a spoiled little rich girl who first makes eyes at typical predator and then is surprised and blames her father for it. "You let him into the house!". No, skirt, you have tried to let him into the house and family and perhaps into something else and old man tried to warn you.
7. Wifey ain't better. Instead of forcing her brain cells to work and devise some kind of plan, she cries and tells him to fix the mess HE apparently made by telling a creep to stay away.
8. Ed coming to the house with his *beep* lit up was just pathetic. And where did the cops come from?

I think the only highlight of that crappy movie was the older IT dude. His character was also full of *beep* but at the same time I did enjoy man's acting and his soothing and calm confidence, so there's that.
Overall, 1/10 because of the older dude.

The older IT guy reminded me of the IT guy from "persons of interest"

It might even be the same actor.

Totally agree with EVERYTHING you said. I found the wife and daughter unbearable....especially the daughter. She was giving Ed the f-me eyes whenever she saw him, and in his car sitting with her legs spread while nibbling on her fingers?!? I mean come on! That little skank was asking for trouble!

Only part I liked was the ending. I think it was all a fantasy dream sequence cause they were all dead cause Ed murder-suicided them....or at least I like to think so....


RIP David Bowie 💕

Is there any audience for this type of super rich, middle class family in peril film? I hated almost every minute of it. The exception being the mastubating in the shower scene.

Yet you watched it....I bet you were in Berkeley rioting too.

I thought the movie was great...seems all these messages take the side of the kid... He is the one that did all the negative things...no one else. Dad was protecting his daughter, company, wife, company, etc.

As I told Hubby during the short part we watched..."the problem in liking this film, is that I'm rooting for the spurned/crazy guy".

all valid points, Horrible movie.
