R.I.A.

Stiff performances by actors who have done better. The story has some minor twists on old AI, robotics and technological themes. Nothing groundbreaking, mostly creative along the edges. The script and acting were forced and not great but watchable to pass the time, especially is you like the genre. Still, I did watch and stayed interested. There was an abandonment of morality and ethics by all characters in this play, including the audience. It suggests we are all devoid of decency.

A sci-fi'd crossover merging of the Biden and Kennedy families. Who knew that political scandals could make such engrossing entertainment?

I don't mind Luke Goss, he is hardly what you would call an a list actor but he has been in some ok films, this is not one of them. Besides, although he may be the main protagonist in the flm, his role, as far as screen time goes, is quite minor. Not a terrible 1 star film, but one that you would find hard to recommend somebody spending money on. Would agree with the reviewer that said this could easily have been a black mirror episode. If it was it would have been half the length and not as tiresome to sit through. Some terrible acting, choppy editing, only just watchable.

I really enjoyed it - nice idea - decent script - some terrible acting - but also some great acting by the lead.

Couple of cleverly done scenes as well.

First of all, the story description they give you on IMDB (same as on Redbox) tells too much, but is also somewhat inaccurate. It is a pretty good idea but it is undermined by low budget production. If you can get through the first half-hour, which is in serious need of editing, it's a decent story that explores our obsession with voyeuristic TV-watching and raises ethical questions regarding technology, politics, etc. There are some glaring implausibilities and "Huh?" moments that you have to overlook if you are going to be entertained by this.

This would have been warmly recieved as a new Black Mirror episode - it works fine when viewed in that light. Definitely worth a watch, it's better than a few actual BM episodes.
