Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
torroutedipz Pretty good voyeurism thriller. I had to watch it when I saw Sasha Grey was in it (I'm sure that's what the studio had in mind). I do prefer and recommend you check out her other work on redtube.com. Now those are 10 star performances!
Smoreni Zmaj Good idea, but lousy realization. All in all, likable hacker thriller that kept me at the edge of my seat from time to time, but disappointed me with its excessive finale. Nothing in this movie is excellent, but everything is satisfying. I did not predict any of the twists and for me it was pretty much entertaining. Highlight of the movie is scene with lead female character getting naked in front of camera. I have no idea how they persuaded her to lose her clothes, but after so many years of eager anticipation, finally we have a chance, for the first time in a movie, to see Sasha Grey naked. :D <37/10P.S. OK, for the first time in mainstream movie :D :D :D
leonblackwood Review: I wasn't a big fan of this movie. I didn't have a clue what was going on half of the time because the plot kept on changing without much explanation. When it all came together at the end I was quite surprised with the outcome but I don't think that it was well put together. The director over complicated the movie and he made it go in different directions which just became annoying after a while. Anyway, the movie is about a man whose obsessed with an actress and when he finds out that he has won a contest to have dinner with her, he really can't believe that his dream has come true. When he finds out from a mysterious caller that she has cancelled the meal because she can't be bothered to go, the mysterious man offers him exclusive access to the actress life, via cameras and hacking into her laptop and phone. After snooping into her private life, he realises that the mysterious man isn't all that he seems and he's ends up trying to save  the actresses life whilst putting his own life in danger. Its an original concept but it's executed badly. Elijah Wood put in a good performance because he brought intensity throughout the whole film and he made the situation seem real. On the plus side, this movie does show how easy it is to get into people's private lives with ease but for entertainment, it could have been much better. Watchable but not that great!Round-Up: Elijah Wood has taken on some weird projects since playing Frodo in the Lord of the Rings franchise, like Grand Piano, Maniac and Revenge For Jolly, and most of his films seem to go straight to DVD. At 34, I doubt that he would be happy with the way that his career has turned out after the major blockbuster but he has got a film with Vin Diesel coming out soon, called The Last Witch Hunter, so that might bring him back in the spotlight. The moody and dark settings in this movie, worked well with the subject matter but it seemed like the director lost the plot. Some of the clever camera work was impressive and I liked the use of the different computer windows throughout the movie but it's a shame that the script was so sketchy.I recommend this movie to people who are into their thrillers about an man who obsessed with a famous actress and wins a competition to have dinner with her but he finds out that the dinner is off so he seeks revenge with the help from a mystery caller. 4/10
Gordon-11 This film is about a blogger who won a contest to meet a famous actress. He is then dragged into a dangerous game of spying, lies, blackmailing and kidnapping. "Open Windows" is a low budget thriller, but it is kept me interested thoroughly from the start to the end. Poor Nick gets blackmailed into a series of crime, and there seems no way to clear his name unless he complies with the mastermind to commit more crime. It's a thrilling and suspenseful plot, until the very end when twists after twists make the plot confusing. At least, I want to think more about what happened and make some sense out of the situation, which means I like the film enough. I enjoyed watching it.
