A young woman deals with a creepy boss as well as a scammer who turns into a vindictive cyber-stalker after she confronts him online. Unfortunately, this felt uncreative and rather generic, complete with a car chase that by all rights should have been the end of the film, but no, it dragged on longer. Throughout the film the woman puts herself in unnecessary danger, the police are always understaffed and one step behind, and the killer moves in linear ways. It's reasonably well made, but I think anyone could have written this. It may pass some time on a long airplane ride if you have nothing better to do though.

Mediocre drama
5
TLDR; If you don't mind the plot progressing solely due to the incompetence of the main character, the police, and everyone close to the main character and want a thriller about a cyber-stalker, then you should maybe consider this movie.
Starting off with the positives, I think that the thriller side of the movie is done very well. The movie gets intense at times and does well at conveying the stressful moments. This is mostly thanks to the very well acted performance of the mc, but also due to the nicely executed introduction of the villain which made him/her a real unhinged threat. I also liked some of the creative shots in the movie.
Moving on to the negatives, the biggest negative is that everyone in the movie makes the dumbest decisions ever, by either not taking the threat seriously or by sheer incompetence. It's hard to write about this without going into spoilers but I don't think it's hard to imagine what I mean, since this is all too common in this genre. The ending also felt rushed, again it's hard to write about without going into spoilers.
