For the sake of social curiosity,it would have been interesting to see more details about the bigoted killers--was their snuff film operation bigger than just the murders we saw? Also ultimately,I think more could have been made of the fact so many people were gleefully watching the live-streaming murders..reminds me of the "banality of evil" principle author Hannah Arendt discusses-atrocities require varying levels complicity by ordinary people-and in this case,the demand of passive audience acts as a means to perpetuate supply. For me,the "just desserts"at the end made it worth the viewing..
