Watch Look @ Me For Free

Who payed the critics

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

LOOK @ ME is a terrible little independent exploitation/thriller quickie that I'm surprised was picked up and got a showing on a Freeview movie channel here in the UK. It's bargain basement stuff throughout, a somewhat sleazy outing about a web starlet and her obsessed stalker.The film has been designed to show off as much flesh as possible, although with the choice of lead actress that's not necessarily a good thing. Elina Madison works hard in the part, but she doesn't really cut it all that well, and as the villain Jeff Doba is just goofy. While I commend LOOK @ ME for avoiding the usual violence-against-women prevalent in this particular genre of movie, at times it comes across as a cheesy slapstick with over the top violence and ridiculous plotting.The female character has repeated opportunities to do something about the situation in which she finds herself, but she refuses to take them in order to drag the storyline out a bit further. It all gets very boring very quickly, and the production values are among the worst I've seen.

First let me say that I like a really good B movie. And that is exactly what you get with Look @ Me: a movie so bad it is good. It is so bad that originally I thought it was a Canadian film.Yes, the budget was low, but that only adds to the atmosphere, which is pretty much tongue in cheek.I have to take issue with those reviewers who complained the actress wasn't attractive enough. Have you seen the subscriber sites on the Internet lately? Small-chested, girl next door types are in. The fact that she was not some silicon based life form a la Pam Anderson gave her struggles to be free some touchstone in reality. (Granted, that reality is a cartoon universe where Tom & Jerry would feel at home.)My favorite part in the movie is when the bad guy tells Tina's friend Kathy that "Tina makes me forget that sex is connected to pain." This is ironic considering ---spoiler!---Tina has bashed, slashed, scalded and stabbed him in the neck with a broken bottle.I guess the moral of the story is that love hurts.

Solid performances, solid direction and a solid plot lead to a surprisingly good film. Clearly made with a low budget, they spent the money on taking the time to find decent actors and a good director. They clearly didn't spend much on sets, but since most of the movie takes place in the main characters' basement cell it needed to be fairly stark.I enjoyed the development in the main character, who transforms from an opportunist using her beauty to get ahead to damsel in distress to a woman capable of making the choice she eventually has to make. The weakest part of the movie is the policeman, a part I think would have been much stronger had it been given to one of the other fans or her friend Kate. The police were clearly not interested in the case and I'm not sure why the director/writer continued that particular story line. The movie would have been stronger without it.I recommend this as a rental. Don't rent it for the sex as there is none. And don't rent it expecting a great mystery or thriller. But it is worth the rental fee as a good story and character development.

Look at Me is about an exhibitionist woman who gets some attention that she didn't expect from her sexy website. Why people would not expect to get whack jobs coming after them for posing on the web is beyond me, but some people seem to thing everyone is normal. Anyway, the whack job nabs the woman and holds her to do his bidding with mild torture and a lot of gratuitous violence and minor nudity. People try to save her and get caught up in the mad man's scheme with bad results. Some social commentary about how the web is a bad place, but its just like any other place. Bad people live there so be careful. An OK B+ movie with adequate acting and quality for a one time watch.
