Admirable film.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
You know when you see big actors in a bad movie? When they haven't done anything recently and the bills are due. There's really no other explanation for this movie's existence. It's unbelievable, implausible, improbable, boring, stupid, vapid, idiotic, and any other adjective you could use for a C movie posing as an A movie.This was just bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. There's no interest while the movie is going on. The acting is just bad. The cameras need to stay the hell still (someone else noted this whole, shaky camera thing, STOP SHAKING THE CAMERA LIKE A TODDLER WAS DOING THE FILMING ON A CELLPHONE). It's distracting and stupid. The plot is laughable. The acting bad. I'm in agreement with others who have written that it was painful to watch this until the end. I did in the hopes that this would get better. Spoiler. It got worse.Save your 82 minutes and do something else.
I'm wholeheartedly in agreement with almost all the reviewers here that this is one stinkeroo of a movie. There actually is an excellent cast in the film, but the question of how they all agreed to appear in this mess is one I can't answer.It centers on the attempts to hack into and crash the worldwide financial systems so a few greedy profiteers can thus take advantage and make even more money for themselves. Writer and director Adam Rappaport obviously has an agenda here, and there are certainly some valid financial truths to be told. However, the way the film is presented, in such an amateurish way, and filled with tons of clichéd and stilted dialogue was a real turnoff for me. To note, there's very explicit language laced throughout the movie.All in all, I felt like I wasted an hour and half viewing this mess of a film.
This movie give the word awful a bad name. The one thing that would make this movie good, is if was never made. The plot was weak and the camera work/ editing bounced around like 2 year old on a sugar high.I could see a potentially good movie if it was taken in a different direction. Sending text messages tipping off to the planned attack, come on that sounds like something a high schooler would do, not a (Blank - sorry no spoilers) would do. There is too many holes in this movie for me to get past.At one point in the movie a White House document was shown signed by Hillary Clinton. Either the writers assumed she'd win the election or she's corrupt enough to be a part of the crash. I'll leave that up to you on how you see it.
I don't understand how they expect to make money of these kind of movies. Are these C Flicks a method to launder money?The movie tried to appear real slick but ends up delivering motion sickness inducing camera work. Headache inducing soundtrack and Corny Computer Hardware clichés. Last times like Schwab and Diebold...seriously? I'm trying to think of something positive and it's quite difficult.I kept hoping to hear the Purge Siren go off, and the main character to start killing everyone to end the movie quickly. It would have been a much more redeemable ending.
