The movie did show a real world problem that actually most likely happens around the world and It's sad. But It does show the truth. You can't just trust some random person like that. It's crazy. The stuff that happens nowadays. It was a pretty sad movie. I don't usually cry over movies much but this one almost made me cry. I suggest watching this movie.

Like i accustomed you , i won't literally spoil the movie's scenario for you , but instead , i'm going to recap the avails and the lessons i've noticed and learned from it . First of all , I really liked the movie's story , and i reckon it's somehow similar to the reality , that if it was not based on true story tho, This movie induces the parents to take care of their children and never lift an eye on them , the director 'Schwimmer' visualizes the picture of the pedophile to be a normal guy or rather i"d say might even be a teacher , i believe it was a felicitous portraying for pedophiles , because most of the people i've met depicting pedophiles in their head as a tramp,rude or dirty looking persons , so all i can do for you is to recommend you to watch this movie and concentrate on the character of the pedophiles in this movie , they are kind , good-looking , and maybe more amiable than us , they may not be aware that they have some pedo attributes until it's too late like Annie's father 'Owen' he works for advertising company which exploit teenage pictures in provocative poses ,it's like the writer whispering to our eyes that we reap what we've sown ,now let's go back to the plot and discuss something else , e.g the way the parents treat their sons and daughters as stupid ,inexperience ,inresponsible kids whom their opinions and life views don't matter , instead of listen to them and indulging them and guide them the way but no way ,then they expect the contrary in return , c'mon , can you please treat your children as real friend if you want to know what's going on in their lives , and it's the only way for them to trust you and tell you their secrets , and for those who watched the movies when the therapy adviser asked her what's the thing you liked about Charlie 'The pedophile' She answered he was smart and funny and not judgmental, look all these qualities and attributes are found in parents of nowadays but in the opposite way , they are not funny with their children because they think their children are not mature enough to get the joke , and regrettably they're judgmental because they are busy enough to not to listen and understand and encourage and when you ask them why , their answers is we are busy working to provide put the food in the mouth of our children , really?! like they care , and finally i'd like to admonish any parent , before you give a gift to your daughter/son , make sure you teach them about its benefits and risks and always keep a friendly eye on them .

A teenage girl (Liana Liberato) is targeted by an online sexual predator (David Schwimmer).What makes this story great is how real it is, how emotional, and to some degrees how gritty. It is not like the sort of sob story you might see on Lifetime, but something that may be real. We have Clive Owen torn between sexualizing people and the protection of his own daughter. He never actually sexualizes, of course, but we see the temptation is there and it is one his business partner freely accepts.And that is the beauty of the story. It is not just the story of a young girl and her dealing with what happens to her. It is also a critique of society at large. We can condemn a man who preys on children over the Internet, and at the same time live in a society that sees women as sex objects and sells clothes by using models who do not wear any...

Annie (Liana Liberato) is a Chicago suburban teen with loving parents Will (Clive Owen) and Lynn (Catherine Keener). She's constantly online chatting with Charlie from California. First he tells her that he's actually 20. With her parents away with her older brother visiting a college, she decides to meet Charlie (Chris Henry Coffey) who turns out to be much older. He talks his way into having sex with her. Her best friend happens to see them at the mall and tells the teachers. FBI agent Doug Tate (Jason Clarke) is called in. Will is angry and Annie is in denial. The family struggles under the incrimination.David Schwimmer has a well-made lesson-of-the-week movie. He hits the audience over the head on how sexualized everything is. This is not a subtle movie. The constant drumbeats do wear me out. It's a message movie and Schwimmer won't let you forget it. Liana Liberato is compelling in the lead role. The hotel scene is creepy as hell. Everybody puts out their emotional best. I wish Schwimmer has a more sophisticated style but it's good as a cautionary tale.
