I found this to be a very topical film, and also very well acted. In particular Eugene Byrd, who plays the lead, does a very nuanced job. Ali Larter is also very good, as is Williams Sadler and Melissa Leo. Given the greed and dishonesty that is seen every day in the corporate world and in politics, I think this offers a very interesting perspective on what an underground anti-establishment movement could look like. I highly recommend this film.

A hacker out for revenge and a reporter out for a story is basically it. After starting out watchable, this film spirals down into confusion and plot uncertainty. The story is hard to follow and the ending leaves the viewer with a feeling of relief that the film is finally over. Sleeping or reading a book would probably be a better use of your time.

I love you Ali baby, but what the heck were you thinking wasting your time with this movie??? Whatever they paid you, it wasn't enough. Very slow, confussing, poor acting movie. Save your time and money here folks!
