Featured reviews
After a fairly slow start, this film opens up into a stylish, pretty slick thriller, it does have some intense, dramatic scenes.
The acting ranges from decent to excellent, the standout of course is Joanne Froggatt, she never disappoints.
It's funny how technology changes so quickly, that's about the only thing that dates the film a little, the story is fresh.
Not a film I'd rush to watch again, but as a one off viewing, I would very much recommend it. 7/10.

Uwantme2killhim? strikes me as a film that a lot of people would miss out on seeing because the title is absolutely ridiculous. It makes sense when you watch it but from the outside looking in it doesn't sound very catchy.
I watched it just recently and it turned out to be a lot better than expected. Great thriller with plenty of twists and turns that really gets you thinking. As I was watching it I just couldn't believe this could be true, so I was shocked when I found out its based on a true story. It's quite unbelievable really.
Its all about trust in friendships and how we are led to believe things if we are easily influenced. The cast all done a brilliant job, I really couldn't work out which characters were genuine and which ones were not.
Will Mark do everything someone online is telling him to do? I'd recommend this film to everyone, just don't read too much about it before watching as you may spoil a great film.
9/10 – One of the best British films I've seen for a while, along with Wild Bill.

... the reality is much more weird than this movie.
Of course I had to do the research after watching the movie to read about the real case in Vanity Fair (the article can still be found on the internet). Fascinating stuff and much more complicated than the events that are described in this movie. Yes, the filmmakers did a good job converting this internet-drama for the screen, but I can only advice everyone to check out the facts. Much more thrilling than the fictional approach and much more unbelievable.
Still a movie to think about for a while.
Good actors and a good way to show internet-chats on the screen. I guess that was the hardest part in making this movie. And the choice they made in presenting these chats was well done.

I almost did not watch this. The story was slow to develop and I was not comfortable with the opening scenes. At the end I felt an emotional impact from the story and saw then how everything that preceded built up to the climax. Turns out to be a good story of youthful male bonding and a plausible story of a series of events misleading the innocent and gullible (Mark). A good story always makes the effort of watching thru an otherwise uninspired scenery (low budget?), low suspense, not a lot of action or Hollywood style attention grabbing scenes. A Hollywood movie could never get away with producing a movie just built on the story. Toby Regbo (John) did some affective emotional scenes, facial expressions were right on.
I liked this film although it only had an average of 6.2 (April 2014). As this was loosely based on a true story, I was interested to see the outcome of this film having not previously read or heard of this case.
The ending was a complete surprise (to me at least!) and well worth a watch on that basis alone.
The two main actors were surprisingly good, I hadn't heard of them before but would watch them in future films based on their performances in this.
This would never be a Top 10 film for anyone I wouldn't imagine but if your looking for something to watch on Netflix, there are far worst films you could spend your time on.
