Disconnect review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 08/20/13
Jason and his friend Frye plays a prank on Ben. Cindy and Derek, who lost a child, have issues with his credit card limit. Nina, who is going out with Peter, wants to interview Kyle, who works in sex chat-rooms. Rich, a legal counsel at the TV station, the father of Ben becomes guilty of his sons incident. For this reviewer, the best story was with Cindy and Derek’s situation as they track down the culprit. Soundtrack somewhat felt out of place and its pace was sort of dreadful in certain scenes. Screenplay was well written with lines: "It's like his broken inside." “What father wouldn’t care?””I don’t care about the money.” Themes of the adverse effects of technology, obsession, improper parenting and guidance were portrayed well by the artists especially Jason Bateman, who usually delves into lousy comedic roles. Overall, had some powerful moments and stunning direction. It may not have a great impact as Requiem for a Dream or Shame, it’s still a solid effort.
