Completely runs off the rails towards the end
The film starts out quite strong with an interesting concept and keeps you intrigued for about half an hour. Unfortunately it then begins to run off the rails up until the climax, where I just didn't know what was going on anymore. The movie doesn't bother giving you any clear answers and ends on a somewhat disappointing note.
CAM is also one of those movies that makes you wonder, why the protagonist acts the way she does. She is portrayed as a quite reasonable girl in the beginning, but her actions become more and more incomprehensible and stupid as the story goes on. What's more, the movie tries to explore different themes throughout its plot (mainly the cam girl's family life), but these efforts don't pay off because of the shallow side characters.
In the end, CAM feels like an overlong BLACK MIRROR episode focusing on the internet's dark side with very moderate success.
