Ultimately Frustrating...

Daisy (Lili Reinhart) works for a company that reviews posts on a social media site to see if it violates the terms of service and deleting it if it does. Some of what they need to watch can be disturbing -- the employees have pools for the next one who will freak out is -- and one day, Daisy sees a video called "Nailed It" that completely freaks her out. She becomes convinced it's real and lets that obsession slowly overtake her..."American Sweatshop" has some intriguing ideas. Reinhart is really good as a woman who doesn't have much of a future who thinks she might have found a purpose in life. The entire concept of getting a glimpse behind the "Report Post" button is interesting. But the movie makes a fatal flaw -- we never actually see the video. So we have no clue why she is so obsessed, and the movie doesn't help us out. This is not the "dark web" -- this is a Facebook-style social media company, not the dark web. The video has apparently been posted repeatedly, seen millions of times, and everyone Daisy shows it to -- co-workers, the police -- all agree that it's gross but that's about it. And yet, the film is clearly trying to hint that the tape is a real murder and that Daisy's quest is noble. So if that's the case, we need to be convinced that Daisy is in the right, and that everybody else is wrong or uncaring.So instead of us being engaged, we're just frustrated. We're supposed to be rooting for her, but instead it's "What are you doing?" There's a germ of a good idea here, but the execution just doesn't pan out.

A thriller that explores the dark and twisted aspects of human behavior

German director Uta Briesewitz makes her feature film debut with a dark and twisted thriller that explores social media and its fascinations.The obsession with what we observe.Matthew Nemeth's script immerses us in the world of social media, exploring what we accept and what we prefer to avoid. The story focuses on Daisy, played appropriately by Lili Reinhart. The protagonist's chaotic personal life is disrupted by a shocking video, which she must confront while searching for a solution. The film constantly plays with personal obsession and how we are affected by what we see or choose to ignore. It's an interesting debate that unfolds in this decent thriller, albeit one that doesn't offer any major surprises.It's a movie that never gets going.The film has good intentions, but never manages to rise above the surface. While it has potential, it merely criticizes social media instead of further developing its protagonist. This also affects the supporting characters, who are largely underutilized, despite having talents like Joel Fry and Daniela Melchior in the cast. The director attempts to inject more depth into a bland script that fails to achieve anything truly rewarding.Lili Reinhart carries the weight on her shoulders.Reinhart demonstrates her great talent by carrying the weight of the film, playing a protagonist full of complications that make the plot even more intriguing. The blonde actress guides you through her character's evolution in a captivating way. However, if you don't connect with the film, it can be difficult to accept everything surrounding her character.Conclusion .It's a thriller that could have been much stronger. It has interesting moments, but they fail to stand out enough in a decent film that fulfills its purpose, though not necessarily in a satisfactory way for the viewer. It addresses interesting themes and presents a rather twisted world, but its script fails to take advantage of all its strengths, resulting in an acceptable but easily forgettable film.

Wasted Potential

Saw the trailer a few months ago and was excited a new movie was coming out with an original concept. There was so much more that could've been explored but instead they chose to drag the film out and give us an incredibly bland viewing experience. There were so many moments where I almost felt like they were getting to a great story but that never happened. The script had no depth at all and although the actors were great for the most part, this movie has no redeemable qualities.
