Review by Morning.star
Very clever "use of the technology to tell the story" but weaker in the acting and storyline departments.

Review by unofficial reviewer
Very NOW kind of film about personal information on the internet which in this case is used by a father to find his daughter. Clever use of the technology to tell the story.
