The reason for the revenge punishment is sooooo old, so predictable, so boooring. In my opinion - it might have been better if the guy stated that he was just a sadistic a**h**e, instead of the soppy origin flashback.
So in short - the story is very, VERY old, uninmaginative and HIGHLY predictable. In fact - i felt like i was able to predict a majority of scenes shortly before they happened - just based on previous movies that did it the same way.
The acting was average. A little overacting from the main protagonists - and all in all ... not very subtle.
Something that throws me out of any immersion - especially with movies set in our time - is when they use internet apps that are clearly meant to be a brand name, but cannot due to copyrights. So there is no google, no youtube etc. . For me... it could as well be ACME then - instead of some placeholder. (it is just a little thing, but it tend to bother me)
From a cinematography point of view. The camera works are not bad - but tend to display a little unnecessary CGI long-shots through windows and stuff. It feels like showing off - but at least it is not found footage.
My conclusion is a 3/10 - because the movie is not innovative, uncreative - and hence ... quite boring. There is NO suspense at all - none. And there is also no feeling of any kind of satisfaction.
