There are two major things to review for this movie - the actual movie and the style of "real time"
For the real time storyline I found it somewhat neat but uninteresting. I highly doubt in reality this whole thing would have played out that quickly. No way. I feel like this was a tatic just to be able to say they did it.
For the movie itself - the story quickly reveals the main character as a racist and the lengths they go to in order to display their racism is wildly unbelievable. If the writers had put some actual thought into a story to mirror more real life situations it would have been better. I get the feeling the writers were sitting around a table going "what would racists do?" and shouting out the most crazy answers and then using all of them.
Because it was so unbelievable you don't have any attachment or hate for the characters they are playing, and therefore you don't really care how the story turns out.
On a high level - a group of racists attempt to get revenge on an asian woman who had one of the ladies brothers put in prison for rape. The asian woman survives the horrible things they did to her. -- While that could be a great movie, it has to be done with more realistic situations and that would not be able to follow a "real time" timeline.
I felt gross after watching this, I was not entertained, and I felt I had wasted my time.
