Bad Match

SPOILER: This is a fairly predictable thriller worth a look. The ending was somewhat what I figured it would be, but the villain was not quite the character I predicted. Things one learns after watching...1. Do NOT play online violent video games. 2. Do NOT use online dating services. 3. Do NOT allow strange women to stay at your place while you go to work. 4. Do NOT assume a smokin' hot chick is obsessed with you, even if you are a dweeb. 5. Do NOT ignore phone calls from your lawyer.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. If you like thrillers then you should give this a chance. There is a very nice surprise as well that you don't expect. Nice work to the film makers.

It started out promising, but sort of flopped in the end. Some of the ideas are a little far fetched and simply would not occur in real life

Tired of the tired old remakes with an updated (tinder) twist. This was literally Swim Fan. The female even looks like the psycho from Swim Fan.

An American thriller; A story about a young advertising agency worker and cad who dates women for sexual gratification using a gamified dating app. This dark, tawdry tale bears some similarity to the film 'Play Misty For Me' in how it unfolds: a one-night stand with one person's reaction avoidance and the other person's reaction obsessional tendency before a truce; then the antagonist won't stop. The main theme was not to portray the excesses of masculinity in the digital meat market nor the idea that there will always be one crazy person out there. It is the idea that people are a good judge of their own mistakes but often a poor judge of the mistakes of others. The film succeeds in showing the dark side of modern dating and the dangers of online engagement and avoids the common trope of the villain being set up to be knocked down. All in all, it is surprisingly effective as a thriller despite the narrow scope. My verdict: Not sideswipe.
