I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Blistering performances.

Zoe (Lucy Evans) visits her instructor Malcolm (David Horton) who she had a one night stand with in hopes of turning it into something more. She takes along her BFF Sarah (Kelly Adams) who has her back. Hot Asian chick Kendra (Calita Rainford) answers the door but she was/is with Declan (Jonathan Rhodes) a genius in a wheelchair. They are professional hackers who believe they can predict all events of the future if they have access to the original Old Testament with the original words and tablets. So they hack into the Vatican computer to obtain this information which triggers a strange series of events...not Buckaroo Banzai strange because this is only 7 dimensions with a smaller budget.The action takes place in one flat and mostly one room. The special effects and story line was hampered by the budget. The actors did a heck of a job to maintain my interest. I managed to catch a few and comprehend a little of the scientific jargon, and the rest, like bible codes, I play the skeptic. The production touches on fate and the paradox of prophecy.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I bought this DVD entitled Decoder, assuming it was the German film directed by Muscha. Why did the Japanese feel the need to change the title? Paid for it, might as well watch it, I thought, and then found I couldn't switch off the Japanese subtitles. The non-stop chatter and the histrionics gave me the impression that the script was written by a teenager and the only reason I ended up watching the whole silly film was because the cat went to sleep on my knee and I didn't want to disturb her. Unconvincing story and unconvincing performances. I'm not saying the acting is particularly bad, but it's English soap opera / sit-com level. The credits state 'This motion picture is a work of fiction'. No kidding. I've ordered a copy of Decoder. The right one this time.

The film is set in London, although the story sees only a pinch of the city and is plotted inside a tatty London flat.It's a psychological paranormal film, are the characters going mad or is there something supernatural at force? Sarah comes from a strict RC mother and knows her religious passages, although, she's not a firm follower herself. She has her beliefs tested throughout this film, with a glimpse of possibility that she could fall for the insanely ranting Declan.Basically, 2 Uni student girls, go out on a whim to visit one of their 'love interest's', which turns out to be a 1 night stand that her friend can not get over and has to pursue. Evidently, this guy feels the same way, the big issue with this, is that he is her lecturer at Uni (doh!). Only, they get an evening that they were not bargaining for! Upon entering her love interest's flat, they find 2 other people, a Gothic bi-polar American lass and a deluded ranting crippled brit. All 3 are on a mission to hack the vatican's archives, in the hopes that they can find the elusive 'Torah' in a 3rd dimension, meaning that they may be able to crack the most sort after code, in centuries.During this time, you do get to see declan becoming more deluded, schizophrenic could be a term for him. Breaking into the vatican record, for him, is life changing and not in a good way.The film never expanded on the 'supernatural attack', just words like 'CIA's remote viewers' and 'Vatican ghosts' were usually flung about.A super natural low budget thriller that would have justified it's self better, if the plot wasn't so scatty and lacking.Saving grace of this film................quality cast.Not a bad film but by means,it's no 'Da Vinci' code!

Apocalyptic conspiracy thrillers are a genre unto themselves. There are enough out there in film as well as literature (often these cross paths at some point). This is a new favorite for me.One night, Sarah hangs out with her impulsive friend Zoe. They end up at the home of Zoe's professor so that Zoe can proclaim her love. Sarah tags along.Once there, it is clear that this is not going to be just any ordinary girl's night out. Zoe's professor, Malcolm is working with a couple on a highly ambitious project decoding the secrets in the Torah. This entails hacking into the Vatican, avoiding being hacked by the Pentagon, remote readers from secret government projects, and a lot of thinking outside of the visible dimensions.Malcolm, Declan, and Andrea along with the assistance/distraction of Zoe and Sarah are about to open doors that some feel should never be opened, and others have dreamed about cracking for a long time.What ensues is a fantastical, fascinating, fatal, and final, fast-paced ride.If this is a genre you enjoy, I would say give this one a definite GO! It is Pi in color and without the personal journey towards insanity plus DaVinci Code without the silly, far-fetched, and cheese-ball theories.
