Nearly was but wasn't

Channeling (2013)

Written and directed by Drew Thomas this film also known as “De@th on live” stars Taylor Handley, Kate French and Skyler Day. In a world where people can broadcast their life live via contact lens a soldier returns home to investigate the death of his brother who broadcast his high action life to the world.

There is a really good concept here but unfortunately the story gets stuck in action mode and never really gets into what is a really relevant area. Why people seek the attention of others and the negative effects it can have are important, contemporary issues but there are times when this film does not seem to know what it wants to be. None of the performances are bad but there are times when the character actions make no sense at all.


2/5
