20 September 2014. This computer thriller mystery while relatively low on the television series "24" action has the techno punch that makes for a reasonable substitute. The plot is decent, the pacing good, the editing OK...This is no Hannah (2011) nor Bourne Identity (2002), nor even the rather popular mainstream movie version of Wargames (1983). While the dialogue seems nicely geeky and there's no obvious slapstick tripe, the narrative seems stuck on the television quality level. What this movie has going for it is that it doesn't cram the techno crap down one's throat, but plays it straight.
This techno thriller does set a bar for its insistence on nice sounding geek stuff that might set the standard for acceptable computer-enhanced movies for the future.
