Nice effects though.

Great Film overall

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This movie approaches a multitude of situations any of us could encounter in today's world. We often think tragedy only strikes others, so it is definitely food for thought.Disconnect addresses situations we are all aware of but probably don't pay much attention to, as they are outside our little bubble. The movie confronts you with those awful situations and asks you what you would do in those characters' situation.The directing was very good. I can tell there was a lot of thought put into the set according to each particular characters' situations and even filming each scene.Pretty much the only downsides I found were the couple dealing with the loss of their son – they felt like strangers well before that event, it's like the husband's military past did not even happen up to that point, for example -, and the FBI being so inefficient felt like a plot device to get things to where they needed to be for dramatic potential. Also, I had trouble dealing with the slow pace.It makes sense because there are several different stories happening at the same time and due to the reality of the situations. There are no car chases or big explosions here, this is real life.The stories reach their climax in slow motion scenes but I just could not feel the impact as expected, for some reason. I guess I found the build up to some of them either too slow or that it did not have enough background/development or I just wanted more.Still, Disconnect is a very heartbreaking, real movie. The ending was just as realistic and I believe it is something everyone should watch, from as young as teenagers.

After watching the third Purge flick I took a look at lead actor Frank Grillo's credits for other Horror titles he has done. Checking each of the credits,I was taken aback to find a non-Horror/Comic- Book movie from Grillo that had an extraordinary cast. Being one of the films that I've been keen to see,I was thrilled to find it recently on the BBC,which led to me connecting.The plot:Wanting wind unpopular school kid Ben up,Jason and his friend Frye crate a fake online female profile who befriends Ben. Meanwhile,after losing their baby,Cindy and Derek Hull have become completely disconnected from each other. Searching for support,Cindy joins an online support group,one of whom has their eyes on credit card details. As Cindy gets involved in online chats,TV reporter Nina Dunham begins believing she has gotten a major story thanks to befriending underage video chat-room stripper Kyle,as Jason and Frye make Ben an internet star at school,by getting Ben to post a naked selfie.View on the film:Completely unaware of what his son is doing under his nose, Frank Grillo gives a very good performance as Mike Dixon,with Grillo carrying Dixon's blue collar outlook on family life with a no- nonsense approach to his job. Trying to find light in their marriage, Paula Patton and Alexander Skarsgård give excellent performances as the Hull's,whilst Michael Nyqvist stays on edge round them as a possible online "friend." Logging off from comedies, Jason Bateman dives into the burnt-out desperation of Ben's dad Rich Boyd,as Andrea Riseborough digs Dunham's glammed up nails into the seedy world of the "dark web." Avoiding any happy online stories such as finding a date or a rare film,the screenplay by Andrew Stern gives the criss-crossing stories an earthy grittiness,where the black mirrors of the online world are unable to reflect the search for peace from the Hull's or the battle Rich takes on to uncoil the wires round his family. Webbing the film in a dazzling slow-motion final, director Henry Alex Rubin & cinematographer Ken Seng keep to the offline mood of Stern's screenplay,via jagged camera moves crossing the wires of each offline profile.

i liked this Film And all of events which it happened in the film. I liked the opinion of the film and how they can tell us a message to be careful from social media and the people who around us.but the End i think it should be better than what really happened.i give it 10/10 because of i liked it very much.i wish i can see what happen after The End of film.i will tell all my friends to watch it.its very useful to learn the people about the dangerous of social media on there child. its an excellent Film and i will watch it again in someday. the music in the film its very beautiful and excited so i will download it to listen it more. finally thanks for this film and i wish i can watch more films about the same opinion about this film.

"Disconnect" from 2012 stars Jason Bateman, Frank Grillo, Michael Nyqvist, Paula Patton, Andrea Riseborough, and Alexander Skarsgård.It's the story of people and their involvement with the Internet. Three stories, with an interconnection between all of the episodes.One story has to do with cyberbullying and its results.One story has to do with a porn site and a reporter doing a story featuring one of the young men who works on the site.The third story has to do with identity theft, a chat room, and a couple that has suffered a significant loss.Excellent, very well fleshed out characters, showing what happens to people who in a sense break the anonymity of the Internet. Jason Bateman, normally a low-key actor with a wonderful sense of comedy, is excellent as a father trying to figure out his son's actions. Frank Grillo, as a former cop turned detective, does a great job playing a man trying to communicate with his son and failing. All the stories are powerful, but the most suspenseful and action-filled for me was the story starring Andrea Risborough as a reporter whose ambition and desire to protect her source get her in deeper than she planned.One thing that struck me is that in two of the stories, people took the law into their own hands because the police/Feds, overwhelmed with these issues, weren't working fast enough. Really a good film to see, well acted, well directed, and poignant.
