Disconnect (2013)

Pretty Good

An action-packed slog

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I don't often feel prompted to write a review of a film on IMDb but this film was so good that I felt I had to promote it to other film addicts like myself.It is one of those films that really reflect the situation of many people's lives at the time we are living in. Disconnect is a perfect title for summing up the main theme - how people are so wrapped up in what they do and the technology sucking them in that they tend to ignore those who are closest to them, often thinking that nothing is amiss, whereas there are often problems bubbling away beneath the surface.The most striking aspect of the film is the script that really makes it so powerful, which is accompanied by some excellent individual acting performances and very powerful directing. I think the writer and director represent two very promising talents to watch in the years to come.

This film tells the story of a group of individuals who forms human interactions online, but all of these connections somehow lead to some sort of tragedy or another.The plot summary really does not do "Disconnect" any justice. I have not expected the plot to be so brilliant. It follows a lawyer, a reporter, a teenager and a young couple who have communication problems with other people. They appear to have found solace online, but little do they know, they have brought in consequences they have not dreamed of. As the plot unfolds, it gets more engaging, making me glued to the screen to find out what will happen. The film leads me to believe that everything will end horribly, which makes me even more engrossed by the story. Though it is not exactly a Hollywood ending, it gives a sort of relief, some closure to the events that happens. It brings people closer, but under the wrong circumstances.I really enjoyed "Disconnect". It is a thought provoking tragedy.

Last Friday night I sat in the couch with the purpose to watch a movie like I use to. I had neither big nor a new film to watch so I just sticked to my movie list and end up watching this one. I can say that this is one of the most deep and thoughtful films I have ever seen. It has no astonishing cinematographic quality but the intension and depth demonstrated overtake all the bad things about it. It talks about one of the most important and at the same time worrying topics our society faces nowadays - social media. It raises the question: Does it really worth it? All the time we spent facing the screens? All those chats we have that just happen virtually? The importance of having 10 less followers in Instagram than your friend? Is it or not wasting time? The film really gets you thinking about this and from my point of view this is all that matters it means that the message passed. To finish, I really recommend those who haven't seen this movie yet to watch it. You won't get disappointed.

In the first 20 minutes it had very intense explicit sexual material that I felt the movie was going no where good. However, the film actually got better to turn to be a great movie. The film deserves its IMDb 7.6 I have special admiration for the music theme, it is really great. No big stars, the most famous actor in the movie was Paula Patton, doesn't this say enough? The real star of the movie in my opinion is editing. In such movies where there are more than one parallel story and more than one parallel scenario, it is editing that make such movie seems as good as t looked it is definitely a recommended one, but only if you can get by the first 20 minutes enjoy A final point: The film raises a very important point as a matter of fact. How do we treat our kids and make sure they are OK in a world where danger can come through a cord? We need to think about this question a bit... It is sure easy to unplug the cord, but would this solve the problem? are we friends enough with them?
