About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a confrontational, darkly funny thriller about privacy, online hysteria, and mob behavior with bursts of intense violence, somewhat in the vein of The Purge; Not for you if you dislike gore, abrasive satire, or blunt social commentary.
Pros: bold, provocative satire; tense, shocking moments; striking, stylish visuals | Cons: heavy-handed messaging; uneven pacing; thin character depth
