Thom says: “This film has received lots of top, glowing reviews so I went with huge expectations but I was underwhelmed. It could be considered CRASH for the Internet Age except the three stories told here, aren’t interconnected. While not told consecutively the stories only have the Internet as the common theme. The three are all ‘hot-button’ issues that we all should be able to relate to: child pornography, identity theft, & bullying. While all 3 tales are educational, interesting, and well-acted, the bullying & identity theft segments are the most convincing. 16 & 17-year-old boys seemed a little long-in-the-tooth to worry about their exploitation, especially with one of the older lady reporters doing a cougar act on one of the younger suspects. But
what really cut this film down was the unresolved endings to each of the segments. 3.5 cats”
