I've watched this twice.The first time I saw it I was not impressed, the acting was sub-par and the plot ludicrous but I'd probably say I was entertained enough not to be annoyed by it but that's how far I would stretch it.I thought I would give it a second chance a couple years later (today) as I had it already and sometimes movies are better on the rewatch BUT this is not one of those movies, in fact it was really dull and this time I truly was annoyed.The beginning starts with a ridiculous statement saying: "This movie is based on true stories told by users on social media network sites" which is beyond stupid because there is no way no one could even try to verify anything said by random accounts on message-boards and such.However I think no one when this is over will think that this movie could in anyway be based on a true stories.I believe potentially what the truth factor relies on is the back- stories of the characters, who's personal information get leaked in the movie very much like what can happen on a message-board and the actual set-up with the plane and the game is like a metaphor for the big bad internet and the trolls and such that can do you internet harm.And that's cute and all I suppose but it still doesn't make this movie any better, with it's often tediously slow pace and characters that are really hard to care for.

Right, well this movie starts out by blatantly stating to be based on real events. Yeah, must have been very loosely based in such a case. Because I didn't buy into this as something that had happened, not by a long shot."Panic Button" is about a group of people participating in some type of event or competition set up by a social network. But as dark secrets start to surface and as the participants are given very real assignments the game changes for the worse.Now, I will say that "Panic Button" is entertaining for what it was, a movie to entertain the viewer. It is, however, not a memorable movie, nor is it a movie you will watch more than once.Director Chris Crow did manage to air some interesting enough aspects, such as no online privacy, the ever-present 'Big Brother', people's desperate desire to want 15 minutes of fame (which always end in shame, given the pathetic nature of reality broadcasting), and the backside of social medias. While those do make for some interesting aspects, the movie just never got beyond mediocrity.Not a movie with a lasting impact, "Panic Button" disappears as quietly and without notice as it did getting here. A mere five out of ten stars rating from me.

For a low budget film, this movie is just okay.I found the story line lacking and that it was not interesting at all. The actors/actresses executed their parts alright, but I saw nothing very captivating throughout the whole film. Dialogue was below decent, I felt it was more like a college/high school play. I honestly gave this movie the benefit of the doubt after hearing from other people telling me that it wasn't a good movie.The only reason why I even finished this movie - was to see the ending. In all, I felt this movie wasted my time. Story was pretty boring !If you're into some action and are curious of the story line, I'd give it a go. Besides that, I would not recommend.

This movie is in the tradition of the SAW sequences but a lot less attractive/interesting, less bloody OK but I rather watch a SAW movie than this one. Especially the very unsatisfying end. After watching the end you get the bad feeling like "I watched this movie for nothing", a regret to take time to watch it. The movie starts OK, interesting, in the beginning you think this movie exposes the threats of social media but along the way it gets too ugly and unrealistic. Forget about this movie, it's worthless. The thing I really oppose is the threaten of a child by the "bad guy", should be forbidden in movies like this. Really awful.
