Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Uwantme2killhim? strikes me as a film that a lot of people would miss out on seeing because the title is absolutely ridiculous. It makes sense when you watch it but from the outside looking in it doesn't sound very catchy.I watched it just recently and it turned out to be a lot better than expected. Great thriller with plenty of twists and turns that really gets you thinking. As I was watching it I just couldn't believe this could be true, so I was shocked when I found out its based on a true story. It's quite unbelievable really.Its all about trust in friendships and how we are led to believe things if we are easily influenced. The cast all done a brilliant job, I really couldn't work out which characters were genuine and which ones were not.Will Mark do everything someone online is telling him to do? I'd recommend this film to everyone, just don't read too much about it before watching as you may spoil a great film.9/10 – One of the best British films I've seen for a while, along with Wild Bill.

I liked this film although it only had an average of 6.2 (April 2014). As this was loosely based on a true story, I was interested to see the outcome of this film having not previously read or heard of this case.The ending was a complete surprise (to me at least!) and well worth a watch on that basis alone.The two main actors were surprisingly good, I hadn't heard of them before but would watch them in future films based on their performances in this.This would never be a Top 10 film for anyone I wouldn't imagine but if your looking for something to watch on Netflix, there are far worst films you could spend your time on.

Mark has been having a relationship with Rachel in an open chat room for quite some time, but Mark delves deeper Rachel's psyche, and he soon becomes introduced to others in the chat room as well. These include Kevin, Rachel's abusive boyfriend, and Janet, who claims to be an MI5 agent. Upon Mark also befriends John, Rachel's brother, and Marks classmate. The two boys start get drawn into various conspiracies within the chat room, which eventually leads to attempted murder.I never read anything about this, and missed the opening credits, so you can understand how much I balked when I read that this was based on a true story. And the fact that this true story came from Vanity Fair of all publications, made me take the whole thing with a huge pinch of salt.Take the 'fact' that this story is supposedly 'true', and you have a solid thriller, with a really clever twist come the final act.To think that one person can impersonate so many people on line, isn't really a huge stretch of the imagination, it's an everyday occurrence if you watch Catfish, but to brainwash an individual into stabbing another, you have to be very cold and calculating, especially if its yourself.The performances are great, and the narrative is wonderful, despite the twisty, turny story.On initial release, I dismissed this movie as being another 'hoodie' movie, thanks to the title and the poster.Don't do the same, it's well worth watching.

I had not read the Vanity Fair article, or had heard anything of this story before I decided to watch this film. I actually watched it by chance with no knowledge of what it would really be about and was immediately sucked in to the story. It has a great pace, but I'm a sucker for quiet, sometimes brooding, films. There are a few twists and the film keeps it interesting by exploring flash backs and fragmented time lines, this was a wise move otherwise the movie could have really fallen flat and come off as slow and boring I feel.The acting is adequate, there will be no Oscars but my attention and suspension of disbelief were held well. I felt myself connecting with the leads, they captured my attention well which is not an easy thing to do so it added to my enjoyment.While this film does have some flaws, I feel that it deserves a solid seven for the experience it delivers and I think it deserves that extra nudge for the fact that it is "based on true events".Interesting to say the least, worth a watch.
