This is a well made and reasonably well played drama about how the usage of the internet affects our actions and daily live in the real world.
It shows porn consumption, bullying with messages, extramarital affairs, teen sexual pressure, game addiction and parents stalking their kids. Unexpected for this kind of movie.
However it does this all in a negative fashion, there is hardly anything positive to be found in using the net in the entire movie. Yes people want affection, sex, entertainment and social contacts and yes they will use any means possible to get what they want, and yes the internet makes that easier, but it does not turn all of us into something we do not want.
We decide if we want to have an affair, we decide if we like gaming, we decide to bully someone, and in the end we decide to start having sex, the internet did not chance that, it just is a "new" way to do old things and as such it is not evil or good, it just is.
Side-note : Why is gaming always depicted as negative ? If our kids read 6 hours a day it's "just look at her/him how much he likes reading, isn't it great ?" . But if you spend the same amount of time having fun on the net with a couple of other people, it is evil ?
