Avis à la une
Pierce Brosnan stars here as Mike Regan, owner of an aviation company that needs a proposed public offering to be successful so it can stay afloat financially. During a presentation of a key company mobile app that will enable people to hire private and corporate jets, Mike is impressed with the tech skills of a temp employed there, and wants to hire him full-time.
However, it will soon become apparent that the temp (James Frecheville) is a most disturbed lunatic, and is intent on ruining Mike's personal and business life, as well of that of Mike's wife (Anna Friel) and daughter (Stefanie Scott). All of the lead actors here give solid performances, and the fine actor Michael Nyqvist is excellent in a supporting role.
All in all, there's a decent amount of tension and suspense maintained in the film, but it is marred somewhat by some highly incredulous plot elements and what I thought was a rather ridiculous ending. For me, it all added up to a fairly decent watch if one doesn't take it all too seriously.

Well this one is a leaf in the forest, if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Sure there are a few things that set this movie aside from the many others that are pretty much just like it, but not enough to care. It's worth checking out if it's on late night cable and you haven't seen it yet. But I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this. Overall it's not bad, it's filmed decently enough, the acting isn't junk, there is some story here, but it's all cut from the same predictable cloth as with many movies like it. So like I said check it out if nothing else is on and you can't sleep, won't be the worst movie you've ever seen, but won't make it into your top 20 either, well maybe if you like the same old. It gets a 4.5 out of 10.
"Privacy isn't a right, it's a privilege." Mike Regan (Brosnan) is a very successful businessman with a loving family. He is just about to make his company go public. When a glitch occurs that threatens everything an I.T. temp named Ed (Frecheville) steps up and saves the day. He and Mike begin a friendship and business partnership, but when Ed starts to overstep things change. Ed takes offense and threatens not only Mike's business but his family as well. This is a movie I wanted to watch because I really like Pierce Brosnan. The more I watched the more I liked the movie itself. The movie is tense and realistic, especially in today's connected world. This movie will make you think twice about how you use technology. That being said, this was almost just a remake of the movie Fear. I liked that one too but they are very similar in tone and feel. Overall, a tense and updated version of Fear, if you liked that one you will love this. I really enjoyed this and recommend it. I give it a B+.
It sounds interesting enough: Pierce Brosnan plays an airline tycoon who accidentally befriends the wrong dude, namely one of his IT guys, Patrick who becomes obsessed with becoming a part of his life (or rather obsessed with getting into his daughter Kaitlyn's), and when he tries to get rid off him, this guy turns their smart house against them, and shows them the absolute horrors of what it means to be online all the time.
It's a story that I've seen million times before, and despite this possibly being the first time I've seen the story done in this era of all smart phones having a camera and everyone on social media (but I'm sure there exist a another movie that has done that before this one), the story itself is predictable and unimaginative enough that it overshadows the updated concept.
Pierce Brosnan is very good in a really bad movie. I'm not sure what that really means. Usually when an actor is driving a crap vehicle, it only showcases what a great driver the actor can be, but in this case the vehicle was too crappy to actually do that. It evens out for both somewhere in the middle.
Not the worse movie in the world, just a very weak attempt at an old cliché.

If you're a fan of thrillers and are looking about for something to watch, this is a good shout. Entertaining film, well acted, but nothing to write home about. One of those films you'll enjoy but forget soon thereafter.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesPierce gave his voice to a "smart house" in a Simpsons episode, with similar setting, only now the tables are turned.
- GaffesAfter Ed remotely crashes Mike's car, his video screens go dead and show an analog static pattern. The cameras in Ed's car would clearly have to be digital so his screen should have just gone black.
