SPOILER ALERT!!! This movie just plain sucks. It's so bad, I don't even know where to begin! The production values were decent enough- but NOTHING ELSE! When your plot and actors are both terrible, you could have the greatest production and still end up with a flop. The story is sketchy, at best. Some web-cam tramp is trying to find meaning to her life, but has problems, because she is clueless. A guy obsessed with her (for reasons beyond my comprehension) is following her as she treks across the country in search of enlightenment; which will always elude her, for obvious reasons. Sound good? Or does it sound like a bore-fest? It's the latter and you have been warned! Those other "wonderful" reviews? Obviously written by the cast/director. Don't you hate that?
... View MoreCritical Nexus takes a different approach to dealing with ideas like our online identities and how they can have an impact in the real world. Each of the main characters is coming to terms with their actions or the consequences of their actions online. This is not the usual "ripped from current headlines" story line, rather it presents a some interesting ideas and observations about the costs of anonymity in our online lives without being preachy or apocalyptic. The cinematography and production looked very professional and the acting was also quite good for something on this scale and I would like to see more work by the two leads in particular. Overall, Critical Nexus deserves points for having an original plot, solid cinematography as well as some very good acting. All of which left me wanting more but in a good way.

This movie grasp the audience attention with excitement. Kudos to the producer Mr. Tirf Alexius! You're on your way man!! Great job!The acting was realistic, enticing and interesting.For all intentions and purpose this is a well made film. the execution had great coincidences and interesting. The major turns in the story were timely and moved us to the next act. The writer/Director Tirf Alexius directorial choices were great!The film devolves into one scene after another where the lead actress run to one situation after another. Great foreshadowing and a great sense of humor in some parts of the movie. Kudos Critical Nexus..you definitely got a A+ from me.
... View MoreI was intrigued the whole while watching this film. It has plenty of layers and complexity and is rich in themes. I thought there were some strong performances, especially from some of the actors playing secondary characters. This is not an easy breezy storyline, so you have to bring your thinking cap. I'm not certain all of the story lines were tied up completely, but that may be my own need for a neat ending. But this is definitely an independent spirit film, so don't expect Hollywood conventionality in the story lines. It was also fresh and original in other ways. For instance, I really loved that the casting was so diverse and unconventional.
