R.I.A.

I really enjoyed it - nice idea - decent script - some terrible acting - but also some great acting by the lead.

Couple of cleverly done scenes as well.

This would have been warmly recieved as a new Black Mirror episode - it works fine when viewed in that light. Definitely worth a watch, it's better than a few actual BM episodes.

First of all, the story description they give you on IMDB (same as on Redbox) tells too much, but is also somewhat inaccurate. It is a pretty good idea but it is undermined by low budget production. If you can get through the first half-hour, which is in serious need of editing, it's a decent story that explores our obsession with voyeuristic TV-watching and raises ethical questions regarding technology, politics, etc. There are some glaring implausibilities and "Huh?" moments that you have to overlook if you are going to be entertained by this.

There is another review bere that mentions the good first 30 minutes and captures everything that goes terribly wrong afterwards, so I won't repeat. I would like to point out the actress who plays Ria - she really is a breath of fresh air, the only good thing throughout the movie. It was a nice surprise in an otherwise disappointing feature.

The first 30 minutes are very good and then starts the great fall to the depths of bad acting, bad script and in general really bad movie. It seems like the writer and director of first 30 minutes is completely different from the other movie!
