2/10
Very Disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
Why did Pierce give up playing Bond? This film makes Bond films into artwork for a lot of reasons. The errors are so blatant and the script so out there that I am not sure what to make of it. List of problems -

Relationships do not make sense. Why would someone give away the keys to their entire personal life to a stranger they do not even like? The script gives them a chance to be friends but they shut them out for no logical reason other than to make the plot work.

Plot too predictable - I can see the ending coming almost at the beginning credits. In fact, the ending is just horribly written and grafted on like a hand being grafted onto a leg to replace the foot. Even Dr House would do that better than this story.

Undeveloped characters - other than the husband and wife eventually saying they love each other, there is almost no character development. Of course the daughter is developed by having an erotic shower scene and sympathy for the bad guy, and makes the most sense in that she does not understand the initial dislike of him. Then what does not make sense is after she friends them on Social Media why she gets away with making the parents think she does not like the guy. I suppose the ending makes up for this, but the story makes little sense here.

The IT guy himself makes no sense. He basically bounces off the walls hacking systems, yet he really has no available goal as to what he is doing or why. It does not help that the technology in the story is so poorly presented that any legitimate Hacker would consider this a Comedy movie. If the Internet is ever presented poorly, and wrong, this movie does that well.

With those in mind, if you want to see Pierce you might want to look at this one. If you like to have your mind hacked by incorrect ransomware, I suggest you avoid this one. This is a movie where even putting your brain away does not help it get any better.
