WHAT’S IT ABOUT
High school senior Lily and her three best friends live in a haze of texts, posts, selfies, and chats — just like the rest of the world. Their small town gets turned upside down when an anonymous hacker starts to reveal personal messages and secrets of thousands of people. As anger erupts into full-blown violence, the four girls soon find themselves in a fight for their lives against an armed mob.
MOVIESinMO Review
Another movie highlighting how horrible our future is and will be under the control of Millennials. Two hours filled with attitudes, self-entitlement, and social media. The main characters are four high school girls, each with different but distinct personalities. As I sat in the theater watching this movie, I wondered what the point of this piece of crap was. The only thing this film does is highlight the outcome of our nation if a group of individuals with the president’s personality was in charge because every character was impatient and short-tempered with a “take the law in my own hands” attitude. In Assassination Nation, a hacker gets ahold of every text, email, etc. of certain people in the town of Salem. This creates anarchy, mistrust, and brings out the primal nature of most of the town. In other words, this movie started out like Heathers, changed into Mean Girls, and ended up like The Purge. Throughout the film, the main protagonist adds commentary in an attempt to give the movie purpose or at least some type of redeeming value. In the end, Assassination Nation is an unnecessarily slow and unneeded piece of cinematic garbage and ultimately one of the few movies I’ve ever wanted to walk out on. I just told myself, I know it’s gonna get better – but it never did. It actually got worse, and I didn’t think that was possible. Any message this film was trying to give was wasted on the wrong generation but since this is an R-rated movie, the age group that needs its message, will never see it, not that they would want to.
