I watched about fifteen minutes of it before the high-speed, rambling narrative got so annoying I couldn't stand it anymore. It reminded me of an over-caffeinated Rudy Giuliani speech. At least in the short time I watched, it also seemed to suffer from having no likable characters. I was quite disappointed.
Opinions and Commentary on the Gaming Industry: The Bear Growls
I should have mentioned that part; it`s kind of complicated. The director says that Player X is "an amalgamation of different players" that were in the game. However, the writer of the article has the opinion that the movie makes that part just murky enough to not be blatant about who it is so they don`t have to deal with the drama of calling out someone. They make a really strong case too, because they give examples of specific things that Maguire does in her book (by his name), and Player X does pretty much those same exact things in the movie. The link is below if you want to read it. For those who haven`t seen the movie, be aware there are spoilers.
