Documentary: The Tinder Swindler (2022)

It’s only been released less than a week ago, I don’t usually have time to watch new films but I was down with fever and headache for two days after my booster shot, so I guess it’s the best time to have movie marathons (since real marathon is prohibited after taking the Covid-19 vaccination!).

So this is what I watched:

The Tinder Swindler: Modern love is a dangerous game (2022)

Seriously, love is not a game! But it can become a game for some?

An important note to begin with, this film, or to be exact documentary, is based on real stories, depicted by very courageous real victims and you will see the real culprit in the film too.

It was a little boring in the first hour or so, yet I think the part is important telling us what kind of persons are more likely to become victims, the characters are quite clearly depicted (by the real persons!). Then it gets more and more interesting, especially as the authorities and journalists are involved and the investigations begin.

Don’t mind me spoiling it, I just want to prepare you in case you are watching it, the ending is rather depressing. But to think about it, he’s really quite skilful, a lot of things he did fell under the grey areas, it might be really immoral, yet totally legitimate.

Still, don’t give up watching thinking that the guy ran free, because one of the women did plan a revenge, and I guess that’s comforting to some extend for me to watch.

And another good news is this:

“Tinder Swindler” con artist, subject of new Netflix documentary, reportedly banned from dating app

Though I wonder how thorough they can do this, since he can have so many different passports with different names, how hard it is to be on dating apps again?
