It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is one of those movies which highlights the negative aspect of the modern dependency of people in technology. It's not an irony that the app in the move is named after "Siri".The concept is wonderful. What will happen to you if the app controls you and decides your action on your day to day life. But again it only focuses on the partying, private life etc in the movie rather than an interesting crime plot. Nevertheless it's a good effortThe movie loses its focus when it starts killing people upon its own- does it have virtual memory or the artificial intelligence to decide how to kill and when to kill and what to use. How can a app know that it has to explode itself because someone is going to destroy the phone? It's bizarre. The movie is not predictable at the end but it's also not such a suspense that it can make people amaze. How can a doctor use such untested technology and ready to lose out patient and that too developed by a small street tech guy and not corporate giant?But kudos to the effort of trying a different theme which can also make people think twice before getting addicted and opening their entire life in the virtual world. If you like a different movie and don't mind spending 90 mins, then it's OK to watch it

I had seen App without the app you had to install, yes, this is an interactive flick. You have to install the app available in the stores for free to have a second-screen movie, the first one ever. I never tried to see it with the app because a lot of viewers did say on forums that the second screening wasn't working, guess why, the downloaded the movie. At a convention I found the Blu Ray and thought to give a try with the installed app.And yes, it do work but be sure to turn off your sound and micro on and do pump up the volume of your surround, because the app do work on sound. Is it worth seeing with the app, does it add something special towards the story. Towards the story it do add extra text or messages on your device. Here and there you will see another POV or you can see what is happening off-screen so yes it do works flawless.And luckily enough the story isn't that bad at all. I can't say that it is really a horror, but I watched it with my 13 year old daughter and she jumped here and there throughout the flick. It offers suspense it clocks in at 73 minutes which is perfect for a story like this, nowhere I had a boring moment. App is ideal for teenagers with their social media world.

I found this movie on Netflix streaming. An interesting concept, it drew me in and I was rewarded with a quite novel movie. The only difficulty is the Dutch language with English subtitles, sometimes the dialog is quick and it is challenging to both follow the picture and read the words. Also some of the concepts are a bit obscure and require some guessing. But I enjoyed it as something quite different and entertaining.The first scene sets the stage but doesn't really give us much clue, until later when she is talked about. A young lady is going home, checking her phone, (hands-free) for messages. She gets a couple, stops her car just over train tracks, then walks back to stand on the tracks and get killed by the commuter train. A sinister warning.The star is very pretty Hannah Hoekstra (looking a bit like Emma Watson and Natalie Morales of TV) as college student Anna Rijnders. She rides a Honda motorcycle, it looks like it may be one the the classic 4-cylinder models like the CB400.She gets a mysterious 'app' on her phone that at first appears very useful, you can ask it things and you get answers. But it turns out to have a mind of its own, it videos people in private moments, and those videos appear all over the media, as just one example. Much of the movie is about Anna and others trying to get rid of the app.At the end it appears they have but, as Anna and a friend board a flight to Spain for holiday, we see a cockpit screen and guess what shows up? Yes, the 'app'. Will they ever make it there?

The Plot is weak. Not a university in a world in which professors call their students with the first name. The live of students is shown in a not appropriate way. To much trying of showing them as party anmials. To much commercials for alkohol and smartphones. How the GEZ can do this? The first review has it all pointed out to a rightfull end: weak plot. And some other points. Why the girl had to clean out the hole in the window she just broke in? She had be quick to save her friend in the water before she is electrocuted. But she comes too late because she had to clean out the shards of glass. Unnecessary. A hipster like movie. Thats just bad. To concentrated upon modern technology must happen n a better way. And how did the militias killed the relatives of the Russian professor? Militia=Police. Or was he habilated in the second world war and the milita was in the regions controlled by wehrmacht? No sense at all.
