Movie 2009.12.26 - Look

For the first few minutes, I seriously believed that Look is a proper, bona fide documentary. Hidden cameras in the mall changing room showing naked young girls? Security cameras catching employees flirting and doing nasty things in the storeroom? Turns out it's just a mockumentary. Reason why it's so realistic is because the whole movie is filmed from the typical vantage points of surveillance cameras.

The movie starts with:
"There are an estimated 30 million surveillance cameras in the United States generating more than 4 billion hours of video every week. On any given day the average American is captured approximately 200 times."

I totally believe this. I heard it's even worse in the UK.
