One of my all time favorites.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Good while watching it, but I felt tricked at the end. The plot hinges on the difference between imagination and reality, but there is no indication in the way the scenes are presented that some are entirely in a character's imagination. The audience sees real settings – woman on computer with others working around her, girl being abused by angry boyfriend – and assumes that these are actual occurrences. And how does Jamie 'recognise' Kevin when visiting the flats where he is supposed to live? The audience sees a resemblance to the man shown abusing Rachel, but that scene didn't really happen. In the absence of this deliberate blurring of the real/unreal distinction, viewers would be able to work out early on what's 'really' going on.

The 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

Mark has been having a relationship with Rachel in an open chat room for quite some time, but Mark delves deeper Rachel's psyche, and he soon becomes introduced to others in the chat room as well. These include Kevin, Rachel's abusive boyfriend, and Janet, who claims to be an MI5 agent. Upon Mark also befriends John, Rachel's brother, and Marks classmate. The two boys start get drawn into various conspiracies within the chat room, which eventually leads to attempted murder.I never read anything about this, and missed the opening credits, so you can understand how much I balked when I read that this was based on a true story. And the fact that this true story came from Vanity Fair of all publications, made me take the whole thing with a huge pinch of salt.Take the 'fact' that this story is supposedly 'true', and you have a solid thriller, with a really clever twist come the final act.To think that one person can impersonate so many people on line, isn't really a huge stretch of the imagination, it's an everyday occurrence if you watch Catfish, but to brainwash an individual into stabbing another, you have to be very cold and calculating, especially if its yourself.The performances are great, and the narrative is wonderful, despite the twisty, turny story.On initial release, I dismissed this movie as being another 'hoodie' movie, thanks to the title and the poster.Don't do the same, it's well worth watching.

I 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.
