...they telegraphed who the bad guy was. I mean, the instant the person appeared on screen, I knew it was the killer/stalker. That ruined any sense of suspense the movie could have had. So there was nothing else to keep my interest after that. It was especially bad since it happened relatively early in the film.

The technique of always hiding the bad guys' face throughout the movie just affirmed who it was. That was just very poor writing.

Another reviewer here said "The filmmakers kept the audience guessing about his identity". meaning the identity of the bad guy. Are you kidding me? Anyone who didn't know who the bad guy was as soon as they appeared should be ashamed of themselves. Judging by the number of high ratings in some of the reviews here, lots of people share that shame.

Cyberstalker also known as Offline is a made for cable Lifetime television film starring Mischa Barton who plays Aidan whose parents were murdered 13 years earlier. The killer was never caught which still taxes the detective in charge. Now she spends time as a reclusive artist but it seems the cyberstalker is back to terrorise her.

The film is low budget, quickly shot, formulaic but rather watchable if you switch your brain offline. The culprit could only be the characters we have been introduced to which could be the detective, her new boyfriend, the Svengali gallery owner or the wheelchair bound computer expert newly employed by the police.

I reckon there is no need for Columbo or Sherlock to solve this whodunit. There is plenty of silliness as our cyberstalker can hack into and control traffic lights for example. Still Lifetime know which audience to aim their films at, its female friendly with enough thrills to keep you mildly entertained.

This this movie uses way too much intense music to the buildup of absolutely nothing. Every few minutes that intense music comes on it's very annoying. So I'm going to have a hard time trying to get through this movie but I started it so I must finish unfortunately I'm about to lose 2 hours of my life for a movie I would not recommend. However I'm not a person that takes people's opinions and doesn't watch a movie because they say it sucks so have a looksee and see what you think. Can't believe that when the film was reviewed prior to being released somebody didn't say wait a minute you're using way too much music buildup for nothing.

Literally the worst acting, and the fact it is so miscast made it even worse. Two stars instead of one since it was bad enough to made me right a review

It is nice. Just nice because it is the good choice after a work day. Three things are good in its case- the splendid predictability- you know the hustler too easy, Mischa Burton and, maybe, the smile and pectorals of Marco grazzini. Low budget, not high ambitions, a comfortable story, absurde, full of cliches, decent. And it is enough for see it out of expectations.
