Well, the plot is good, not so bad, Argento could be do much more with a story like that. But the problem is he doesn't know how to do with it. Shot a computer screen is the worst thing in the world to recording. There is noting more static, not interesting than a computer screen. And Argento is not De Palma, he has nothing really good to say on Internet and everything. He want to play the modern guy who have a speech to say on Internet, "voyeurisme" etc, but, it's not him. It's not his style (yes he have one, or many). Argento love so much pictures, image. He like too much to watch a murder on screen to speech on this kind of things. And finally we just have a poor detective story, with no surprise, no intensity. Argento miss the movie he would probably made.
