After watching this movie, my opinion of Esmail changed a lot. After Mr. Robot, he seemed like a genius. But now there are fears that he is the new Chris Carter with obsessions.
Operator moves, which in Robot seemed brilliant, bold and appropriate, here often look like a cow saddle. There is a feeling that the beautifully shot Mr. Robot was just a lucky coincidence for Sam, who loves all sorts of furrows.
In the center of the plot, expected, technical problems with information security, twisted to the absurd. The behavior of the main characters against the background of the ongoing madness does not even seem so stupid.
Well, come on, what is the plot - the film is full of symbolism, which is manifested in the dialogue of tenants with landlords who suddenly popped up, and in the behavior of wild animals, which cyberattacks, in theory, should not concern at all.
Although, to tell the truth, it is obvious that the main message of the film is that Americans do not want to think about anything, but want to watch Friends, nostalgic about a past that did not exist even when the end of their world came.
A strange movie, apparently designed purely for the American audience.
