My quick rating 5,3/10. I suppose this may have been a creepy story if it wasn't the world we live in RIGHT NOW. This movie had the right components being acting, but really dated material tech wise and not focusing on the actual plot well enough to develop tension brings this down. Nice to see Bill Paxton in one of his final roles, and even if rarely used, did a good job as always. It is too bad they didn't run with the whole "you have no privacy" a bit more since there is a lot more that can be done with it beyond following a woman working at google, i mean, the circle and becoming drawn into the pseduo-cult (ure) of it. The whole personality raing also eerily mimicked a recent episode from last years "black mirrors" of how your score controls your life (kinda like a credit score) but anyway, i am losing focus and plugging other things now. Not a bad movie with all the tools but just not quite as exciting as it could've been on an episode of "twilight zone" many years ago.
