It's hard to watch this film as an entertainment piece, given the upsetting nature of the storyline that could be lifted from any true newspaper article.
A young girl talks online to a boy and when she does meet him he's not how what she seems. I was thinking reading the back of the DVD when I rented this he'd be some psycho stalker but the actual plot is a lot more shocking, a 35-40 year old man who preys on vulnerable under-aged girls in an attempt to seduce them.
The film plods along nicely and keeps the viewer interested the entire way, and certainly sends a strong message to parents about what can go wrong if your child is giving unsupervised internet access.
The performances are solid and the tension between the family members keeps the film engaging, but overall while watching the film it often feels more like you are watching 'Guide to monitoring your child's internet use' special and the conclusion, while realistic, is somewhat unfulfilling. It's an decent enough film, but not for everyone's tastes.
