Very interesting film.

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2015)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. This movie will keep you guessing until the very end. It purposely allows you to believe that you have figured out the premise of the story time and time again. However, surely you will be wrong. The movie takes a look into a largely respected internet coder company (with references to a company similar to Google). The company's owner has never made himself visible to his employees because he is a very secretive man whom lives in a secluded wooded area. The company's owner is working on a project to create an A.I. (artificial intelligence) in which has the capabilities of being human (having emotions, feelings, understanding body language and expressing oneself etc.) He needs a 2nd opinion to ensure that what he has created is indeed capable of doing all these things. That's when he brings in one of his employees. He later explains that he has used his search engine company to gather information from all of his employees and even users all across the world to help him better understand humans and to use this new found information to help him create his A.I. He hacks into webcams and microphones etc. to gain access to facial expressions of unsuspected users while they are indulging in pornographic videos and other online searches. He does this, not to be weird or to invade ones privacy, but yet to help him match body language and facial expressions to hi A.I. Whilst interviewing the A.I. the 2nd opinion of Caleb (the winner of the contest at the company owned by the employer) starts to feel emotions toward the robot and plans to set her free if the owner plans to kill her to recreate another A.I. The owner (Nathan) has planned all of this to simply see if his creation has reached a point of success worthy of sharing with the world. What you later find out, is that there was never any contest, and Nathan actually hand picked Mr. Caleb because he seemed like a genuinely good hearted guy and he seems rather vulnerable based on his pornographic searches and online profiles that Mr. Nathan had been spying on. Although Nathan seems to be a bit of a dick, he is truly intelligent and he is working on this project to better humanity. What Mr. caleb didn't realize, was that all of this had been preplanned and pre-though out. Well, unfortunately for Nathan, Caleb had a few tricks up his sleeves as well. Without spoiling the whole movie, let's just say that this flick ends in a very elegant yet bloody fashion. There are lessons to be learned in this film, and it's actually quite enjoyable. I would classify this film as a suspense thriller/sci-fi/dark comedy. Do your self a favor and pick this movie up at your local video store or redbox. Or wait till it hits netflix. But if you're looking for something good too watch right now, I think you can order it on the Roku store and possibly on demand if you have timewarner cable. I give this film 7 stars because it is quite enjoyable and I didn't expect much from it, but pleasantly to my surprize, it was well worth watching.
