It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreThis film has got to be one of the best films I have watched in a very long time. The way the film was cleverly shot, and included subtle hints throughout was amazing. It shows how the internet is dangerous and shows how you never really know who you are talking to! Also it reveals the consequences of bullying and feeling left out, and the lengths that some people will go, to feel involved and wanted. John absolutely fascinated me as he was behind the whole thing yet he put up such a good front to Mark. And Mark was sucked in, and fell in love with someone he didn't know. Mind blowing story, something I definitely recommend you watch it.
... View MoreThe main thing that appealed to me about this movie was the fact that it was a low budget, urban, British drama film with a not so well known cast. I am always interested in these films as it is nice to take a step away from the mainstream Hollywood movies with the same actors & similar story lines.Uwantme2killhim? Is apparently based on a true story, though having now watched the film I am unsure on how much of this is a true story. I read the basics of the storyline before watching this and It seemed interesting enough so I gave it a go. Mark speaks to a girl online, a girl who is in the witness protection programme, called Rachel. Rachel has a brother who goes to the same school as Mark and she asks Mark to looks out for him as he isn't fitting in well and is getting bullied. Little does Mark know that things aren't all that they seem. That's it, that's all I'm going to say as I don't want to give anything away!I found this to be quite a disturbing movie in parts, it did very well to involve the viewer and showed a story of loneliness, & desperation. You really feel for the characters & their situations, this is helped by the acting by the young cast. They won't win any Oscars for their performances and they were far from perfect, but the majority of the cast are convincing and really connect with the script. The character development is also brilliant, it isn't a very long film but it moves at a pace which really lets you see many different sides to the main characters.There are twists and turns in this film, many people have stated that it was predictable but I didn't think so! I knew something was not as it seemed & you knew it was coming to the boil and things were going to be revealed but I didn't expect it to happen as it did. The scenes with the online chat rooms are very gripping and a filmed perfectly. You hear the words being spoken in the characters head as they are typed and they camera work as it pans over the text on the screen and the characters facial expressions is brilliantly done. It creates unease and an edgy feeling for the viewer, you feel like something is about to happen at any second.Uwantme2killhim has a very unique plot and I would certainly recommend it if you have a spare couple of hours!8/10
... View MoreU Want Me 2 Kill Him is a psychological thriller of the crop of lower budget movies that mix tech savvy young people and computers. A lot of things in this movie happens over an Internet connection, but this is not a 'geek-hacker' plot. The plot is interesting, and there also some complex character development. This is definitively not your regular "pick a list of stock characters" drama movie.However, acting is somehow inconsistent. Not bad, but inconsistent - there are some great intense scenes that are just followed by some instances of really bad acting (which is why I give this movie a 7 instead of 9 score).
... View MoreI had not read the Vanity Fair article, or had heard anything of this story before I decided to watch this film. I actually watched it by chance with no knowledge of what it would really be about and was immediately sucked in to the story. It has a great pace, but I'm a sucker for quiet, sometimes brooding, films. There are a few twists and the film keeps it interesting by exploring flash backs and fragmented time lines, this was a wise move otherwise the movie could have really fallen flat and come off as slow and boring I feel.The acting is adequate, there will be no Oscars but my attention and suspension of disbelief were held well. I felt myself connecting with the leads, they captured my attention well which is not an easy thing to do so it added to my enjoyment.While this film does have some flaws, I feel that it deserves a solid seven for the experience it delivers and I think it deserves that extra nudge for the fact that it is "based on true events".Interesting to say the least, worth a watch.
