User Reviews

Pretty bad

The above reviewer is probably connected to the film because you see they feel the need to defend the "coincidences" in Indigo, which are just absurd (not to mention they suggest what methods you can pay for this film now!). The main character's child is kidnapped in the opening and later he gets involved with the perpetrator through happenstance. It's absurd and completely transgresses the suspension of disbelief. But worse than that the dialog is ham-handed and painful at times. The plot is riddled with so many basic oversights (for example, apparently it's impossible to make copies of digital files in this world; or the police don't take a kidnapping seriously despite the lead character having received the ransom call from the victim's phone; and they are many more) that it's hard to take it seriously at all. This is one of those films that you may not be able to predict what happens next but when you're done you feel you wasted 90 minutes.
