PLOT SYNOPSIS
Undercover British journalist Anna (VALENE KANE) is on a quest to bait and expose a terrorist recruiter through social media, while trying not to be sucked in by her recruiter and lured into becoming a militant extremist herself. This thriller plays out entirely on a computer screen in the Screenlife format.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5

This release comes with a semi-glossy slip cover and inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD copy. No features were included.

 

VIDEO – 4½/5, AUDIO – 4/5

Profile is presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and has a 1080p high-definition transfer. Since the entire movie takes place off of a computer screen, there’s not a whole lot to judge. Colors at least are bright and detail looks quite good.

The disc includes a standard DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which is perfectly suitable for a movie that is mostly dialogue, which does come through the center speaker with good clarity. Not much in terms of depth of course.
