I bought this thinking it was Upload. That movie has an interesting premise: choosing your own afterlife. This movie is not that movie. This movie does not have an interesting premise: a video prankster we know next to nothing about other than that he acts like a jerk is framed for murder. The bulk of the film concerns his fate. He gets arrested, he doesn't get arrested. He gets the chair, he doesn't get the chair. There's so little character development it's all the same to us. As far as we're concerned the stakes couldn't be any lower. The fate of a cardboard fictional movie character hangs in the balance. Big whoop.

The acting was barely TV movie quality, the script never reached that level. Decent production values can't make up for a story and characters we aren't invested in.

Three stars for the production values (with the notable exception of the sound, which randomly changes volume throughout). Zero stars for the plot, story, and dialog. Three stars.

This thing is lazily written and lazily produced and lazily acted. It's a low-budget murder movie, sure, but more could be done on a budget like this. Eric Roberts is top billed on imdb but he appears for like 30 seconds as a car rental clerk. Total waste.
