Atração Obsessiva

Not a fantastic film, but well acted, not great production value, not a new premise, but pretty entertaining with a good twist, that I did see coming. Never the less a good watch.

Harris, a successful bachelor, uses dating apps to meet women for his own satisfaction, but when he meets Riley things rapidly get out of control. Is she crazy? Watch and find out! This is not in the same league as Fatal Attraction but is a reasonably good time passer. Acting is sufficiently good, the pace never gets too slow, there are a few quite brutal moments and the film does throw in some effective black humour. It is also predictable but overall I quite enjoyed it.

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.

No Oscar winner acting, but not bad. A few holes in the plot, but the buildup to the end made it all worthwhile. I was totally shocked by the ending. Good Fatal attraction type story with a twist in why people shouldn't play with peoples lives and emotions and the cost of unbridled revenge.

An American thriller; A story about a young advertising agency worker 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 the way it unfolds: a one-night stand, one person's reaction to it was avoidance and the other person's reaction to it being obsessional tendency before a truce, and then the antagonist won't stop. The main theme with this film is not portraying the excesses of masculinity in the digital meat market, nor the idea that there will always be one crazy person out there, but that we are a good judge of our own mistakes but we are a poor judge of the mistakes of others. The film is good at showing the dark side of modern dating and the dangers of online engagement, and it stays clear of a typical storyline where a villain is set up to be knocked down. Surprisingly effective as a thriller, despite its narrow scope. My verdict: Not sideswipe.
