Many forced, unconvincing situations...unfold as Emerson struggles to paint a meaningful social portrait, one that often feels surprisingly retro and clichd from a guy who seems pretty hip on YouTube.

It is clear after watching Hooked that Emerson needed a firm, guiding hand... While he may have begun the project with noble intentions, the finished product is a disjointed mess of clichés that do not have much new or insightful to say...

It may be far from perfect, but I was hooked from start to finish.

What began as a character study soon evolves into a cautionary tale that feels unfounded considering everything that we had just watched up until that point.

2.5/5

The script is far too obvious for its own good, shouting its opinions instead of drawing us in meaningfully.

Hooked was a difficult film to rate. It definitely suffers from a lot of problems. It's dialogue and tone is boring at times and cliches are around every corner. Nonetheless, it presents an actual very real problem on our society and does it with a lead character that shines even with the challenges mentioned before.

A good movie on a serious, but little understood, subject. Connor Donnally is superb as the lead character.

The worst of both worlds: the script is just as horrible as porn, but without any genitals on screen to justify the ruse.

Conor Donnally stands out as Jack a street kid who has a drug addiction and has to escort to get by! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!

For what little it cost to make this movie I was pleasantly surprised St the quality of the finished product. The message deserves a wide viewership so I recommend it be viewed by all at-risk youth and their supporters.
