Cyberstalker (V) (2012)
2/10
Convenient... Inconsistent... Coincidences...

Warning: Spoilers
Quite easily one of the stupidest movies I have seen.

Putting aside the obnoxious editing, poor direction, generic dialogue, the music always building but never reaching a crescendo, and the overall early 2000s look for a movie made in 2012, the story and the villain are maybe the dumbest part.

The whole movie relies on INCONSISTENT COINCIDENCE to propel anything that happens:

  • 13 years later, the cyber guy they hire to find the cyber stalker (SPOILER ALERT) just happens to be the same guy? -
  • And he is also pretending to be handicap for who exactly? And for how long? And why? -
  • It's also only due to the ideas and actions he brings to the table that even lead the police to finding her in the first place. Well if he could do that and always knew how, and is the only one to even think to, then what was he waiting 13 years for? -
  • Also he seems to hack with ease whenever he is in his wheelchair, but then cut to him in his evil stalker hoodie and he struggles to input his own password to access the very same work screen he was just working on at the police station. -
  • Why is he doing double duty? The work he does for the police perfectly fulfills his stalking efforts. Why do the same work again home alone? -
  • Alone... where he wears his cyberstalker disguise even though no one can see him... and talks like Dr. Klaw from "Inspector Gadget" even though no one can hear him.


It's CONVENIENT:

  • He could suddenly move into an available apartment right across from her...
  • There was some electrical issue that prompted the landlord to grant him access into her apartment...
  • She requested him to meet at her apartment and not someplace else...
  • They never ran into each other with how often they're shown being in and out of their apartments...
  • Also that she never noticed those huge spy cameras latched around her apartment in plain sight.


However most ridiculous might be everyone going gaga over a bunch of still life paintings of ordinary flowers and paying over $10K for them.
