I didn't get what the agenda was of the hacker antagonist, except that he seemed to be possessive of Anon. I believe she said he didn't want her sexually, but he didn't want anyone else to have her either. Any ideas?
shareGood point. I plan to watch it again and see if I catch this missing detail.
shareMy guess just that he was old fashion crazy. We don't have any information about either of the hackers to know anything, though. She burned all her analog records, so she doesn't want the government knowing everything about her, what now a days would be called a right winger. She is one of the few remaining individualists left in that world of collective conformity.
shareDeus ex machine, incel nonentity, Netflix plot disappointment. I liked the movie nonetheless. A nice, albeit facile and shallow, plagiarism of Orwell’s 1984, with two leads I like. The
shareYeah the movie had me pegging it at an 8 out of 10 up until the main plot device kicked in with the rival antagonist hacker, and then it promptly dropped down to a 6. It actually probably would have been a more consistent and better film had she just been the killer all along. Having it on the Straight, White-Male incel was the most Netflix plot-twist ever, and completely ruined the film and also didn't make a whole lot of sense. He could have just as easily met her doing what Clive Owen did and he wouldn't have had to go through all of those bodies and roundabout murder-sprees to meet.
