Cam

Why can't Lola tell everyone she was HACKED...geez! What is up with this movie!

Sometimes you watch a film, and you don't fully understand it, and you certainly wouldn't be able to explain or describe it, Cam is certainly one of those films, but despite those points I enjoyed it. It's a different setup, sometimes people wake up and don't know who they are, where they are etc, Lola wakes up, and finds that someone's pinched her webcam details, and bizarrely is somehow imitating her.

I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time, and it seemed the writers didn't either, they hit upon a great idea, but couldn't fully explain what exactly was going on, the ending had me scratching my head, asking, so what exactly was that all about, was Tinker actually involved?

Ultimately though, who cares, sometimes a film is just ninety minutes of unexplained entertainment, if you're someone that wants a conclusion, and to know every detail, this would certainly drive you nuts.

Madeline Brewer did a fine job as Lola, I wonder if she knew exactly what was happening? She gave the character some real depth, what appears to be a shallow girl on the surface, is a complex, thoughtful character.

Rather good, 6/10

What an interesting story line that left me unsure if I enjoyed the film..

Cam girl Lola (Madeline Brewer) has the thirst and desperation to please her online audience into pushing her up the popularity leader board. Lola doesn't really mention she's doing the job for more money, but to get closer and closer to the #1 spot.... I mean if it was me and I was on cam it would simply be for the money, my goal wouldn't be to be the Queen B. Lola discovers that there is an impostor online who has taken her identity and fooling her followers into donating more coins.

The first half of this film is really interesting, but as it gets closer to the end the explanation for what is happening is kind of ... a let down. An interesting story needs and interesting twist, but this film kinda lacks that.

Overall the film was still a good watch, but just don't expect a mind blowing ending.

'Cam' was a film that was always going to be judged very heavily by how it ended. The reason for this is that it sets itself up in such a bizarre and fascinating way that the audience is desperate to get a satisfying conclusion. The film is very similar to 2013's 'Enemy' in terms of the story, but is also very different to that film in the sense that that film had a definitive purpose, reasoning and point.

I was actually captivated while watching 'Cam' and that is the best thing that this film has going for it. It is a very interesting watch. The pacing is great and the story is mysterious and well told. The problem though was that I was left with a bitter, unsatisfied feeling at the end. I wanted more and I wanted there to have been a purpose for spending these 90 minutes of my life watching this film. Even some very bad films over the years have at least had a purpose.

I'm a little bit torn on this film as you can possibly tell. I could've liked it a lot more than I ultimately did, but I also could've liked it a lot less. I think overall I would lean towards advising people not to spend their time on this one. The ending is simply too weak.

Good plot, amazing actress, but the ending basically doesn't explain anything. It's like the movie has been cut into two halves except the second half is none existent
