The blatent plugs for various Microsoft products (hotmail, tablet PCs, pocket PCs, etc) were a bit over the top.

The portrayal of computer stuff.. horrible.

The fact that I’m writing about this again a day later should give some sort of indication of just how horrid this movie is.

“Spoilers” forthcoming, though this movie spoils itself.

Straight up horrible. Poor acting and outrageously unbelievable from both a technical and logical perspective. It felt extremely formulaic with the movie flipping over a scene 2/3 of the way through (intro with scene, play before for 2/3, play after for 1/3). Very typical “drama” with everything seeming to work out alright before the protagonist remembers a quip she’d heard before, causing her to figure out who is really behind it all.

However.. the movie was well shot in a really intriguing place (Istanbul). Great scenery, though there wasn’t any insight / commentary on the society there.
