  What a horrible poster! The one they had in England was much better! Anyway, don't let dodgy artwork deter you, this is a great piece of sci-fi noir. It's really stylish and good looking too, not bad considering the budget. Someone please give Mr Natali more money, most… More

It's really stylish and good looking too, not bad considering the budget. Someone please give Mr Natali more money, most Hollywood blockbuster sci-fi films have nothing on his ideas!

  Very cool cyber-spy thriller that I just chanced upon. Well worth an evening's viewing. A hi-tech industrial espionage plot with many twists and one of the coolest sci-fi vehicles (helicopter) I've ever seen.

  Pulpy sci-fi espionage thriller that's so full of twists and turns you soon don't know whether you're coming or going. It often seems that the plot is unnecessarily convoluted just for the sake of appearing more clever than it really is, but Lucy Liu adds some much… More
  Pulpy sci-fi espionage thriller that's so full of twists and turns you soon don't know whether you're coming or going. It often seems that the plot is unnecessarily convoluted just for the sake of appearing more clever than it really is, but Lucy Liu adds some much welcome glamour.

  Pulpy sci-fi espionage thriller that's so full of twists and turns you soon don't know whether you're coming or going. Some nice shots and good use of effects, though, and Lucy Liu is always welcome.

  A fine thriller. Unexpectedly delightful to watch.

  It was a little predictable, but I found it so enjoyable that it didn't matter. I was only 13 when I first saw this and I didn't actually guess the ending then, but on subsequent viewings it was pretty obvious. I also don't know if my enjoyment was purely based on the… More
  It was a little predictable, but I found it so enjoyable that it didn't matter. I was only 13 when I first saw this and I didn't actually guess the ending then, but on subsequent viewings it was pretty obvious. I also don't know if my enjoyment was purely based on the movie, because I was slightly enamored by Jeremy Northam ;)

  Natali's sophmore film, and a great follow-up to Cube. Here he has a bigger budget to work with, and the main thing that hurt Cube, sub-par acting by a couple cast members, is not evident here. I can not praise this film enough. No, it's not a perfect film, but boy is it a… More
  Natali's sophmore film, and a great follow-up to Cube. Here he has a bigger budget to work with, and the main thing that hurt Cube, sub-par acting by a couple cast members, is not evident here. I can not praise this film enough. No, it's not a perfect film, but boy is it a breathe of fresh air! In my opinion, this is his best film to date. Jeremy Northam continues to prove he is one of the most under-rated actors in the business, along with David Hewlitt, who is in all of Natali's work, and really is a great actor, especially in this film! The scene he is in is by far the most compelling scene in the film, along with one of the most compelling scenes in recent memory. Lucy Liu also isn't half-bad. If you've stayed with me for this long, you are probably wondering what this film is about? Do yourself a favor: PLEASE don't research the plot. You will enjoy it so much more if you don't know what to expect. I will give you this short summary: Corporate Espionage with a twist. Jeremy Northam becomes spy for a corporation, only to find out he's in something way bigger than he thought he was, and the only way out, it to get deeper inside.

  Quirky but interesting premise..plot gets more convoluted as it progresss however..some nice comedic touches..worth a watch..good male lead performance

  Solid concept, solid execution (especially considering it seems to have been on a small budget), but the "twist" was painfully predictable and the whole movie was built toward the reveal. Some nice shots and good use of effects, though, and Lucy is always welcome.

  Poor movie. Enough said.
