The above reviewer is probably connected to the film because you see they feel the need to defend the "coincidences" in Indigo, which are just absurd (not to mention they suggest what methods you can pay for this film now!). The main character's child is kidnapped in the opening and later he gets involved with the perpetrator through happenstance. It's absurd and completely transgresses the suspension of disbelief. But worse than that the dialog is ham-handed and painful at times. The plot is riddled with so many basic oversights (for example, apparently it's impossible to make copies of digital files in this world; or the police don't take a kidnapping seriously despite the lead character having received the ransom call from the victim's phone; and they are many more) that it's hard to take it seriously at all. This is one of those films that you may not be able to predict what happens next but when you're done you feel you wasted 90 minutes.

I had the pleasure of watching this movie on amazon.com and I was interested because I am a fan of Nicholas Brendon due to his work on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Criminal Minds." I have to say that this was a thought-provoking, engrossing movie and had me at the edge of my seat throughout the movie. "Indigo" kept me guessing about what would happen next in each scene and I enjoyed the unconventionality of its handling of its pivotal scenes. Despite consisting of very dark subject material, the film also handles it in an unconventional way, with it not being too dark or gratuitous to the viewer, having a satisfying amount of humor and leaving certain scenes up to the viewer's imagination. The director of this movie did a superb job, especially with his modern usage of social media and the mature, realistic portrayal of the main character's personal demons. The actors of this movie was well cast and were very realistic. I was impressed with the actor who played the main character, Eli, as well as the actress who played his wife. Of course, I also enjoyed Nicholas Brendon's character. Most of the movie takes place eight months after the major event, so no one can deny that coincidences can happen, even if it is aplenty. Coincidences has happened to me and I'm sure to you as well. My coincidence happened on a walk through a city where I chatted with two men while I walked on the sidewalk where the first was born in my hometown and the next man went to the same high school as me. This movie is worth the rental or purchase on amazon.com. I wish this movie would have gotten more recognition because this is the kind of thriller that Hollywood desperately needs. Out of 10 stars, I give it an 9.
