The first glaring issue is that it is really only a 30-45 minute story, but theye dragged it out to almost two hours with long repeated visual shots and music, showing the same thing over and over sgain. Also, oftentimes the interview topics felt like they were sometimes taken out of context and shoehorned into the narrative the director/producer wanted to portray, which subequently threw off the pacing as well. An example is Sven (no spoilers) being an extreme radical, and their example is a DDoS attack... which is childs play for hackers. Yeah, he committed a DDoS attack, but in terms of hackers thats childs play. If people knew how vulnerable their private information truly is, they would probably advocate for more privacy and security (I found this out the hard way when my identity was stolen), and yet governments are trying to BAN encryption! The movie definitely seems to advocate for a 1984 style "big brother must see everything to keep us safe", when people like us law abiding citizens are the ones that get affected the most... Im sure you've all noticed criminals don't care that they're committing crime, therefore its only going to affect us normies. The straw that broke the camels back, us they don't just insinuate but the outright explicitly say he's guilty, and he hasnt been tried in court yet. That should be illegal, but im sure there's a loophole based on their regional laws that Netflix exploited in order to be able to do it.
In summary, as a doc buff, I say skip it, unless you want to see if what I said was true. Its uninspired, 2X as long as it should be (or more), its like a made for TV crime show where 65% of the episodes are just repeating the same things, it explicitly calls him guilty when he hasnt had a trial. I mean there are more, but it was so bad I could write a pamphlet, and aint nobody got time for dat. Hopefully this saves some time for someone, or gives them a little better of what to expect without spoilers.
