    crap, stick to eagle eye

    Hey this was a pretty decent movie. I like Shane west. Ed Burns and Ving Rhames, so this was a Cast that actually lured me in, lol. This totally reminded me of a mix between Eagle eye, Wargames and some James Bond Flicks. The story was something that's been done plenty of times a...( read more)nd actually not to bad. Lot's of action, lot's of betrayel...of course the usual sex and explosions, but overall very much entertaining. Not to complicated to follow along and you should give it a try.

    Low budget knock off of Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye was terrible. Ergo.

    Gains half a star for tipping me to this awesome forum thread: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124039/board/nest/134257935

    Things I learned from watching Echelon Conspiracy (highlights):
    6 - CIA office in Prague i...( read more)s inside an old warehouse
    9 - All security cameras are connected to internet
    12. Before seeing a superior military-officer in Russia, shaving is required.
    23. If you just won about 200 000 euro in a suspicious way, and then been warned by the casino security to not use a cell phone, the absolutely first thing you do is to try to fool them again by using a headset.
    28. If you have a grenade launcher, don't use it before you had a 5min unnecessary firefight.

    Man, on second thought, this movie is almost worth watching just so you get everything in that forum thread. (not really)

    Ok, it is watchable. Barely. It is movie making by the numbers. Ed Burns, well, damn, is he a really MEDIOCRE actor. OMG, he is just a SAG Card.

    The plot synopsis sounds strikingly familiar to my own life, except the text messages offer to increase the size of my penis...and no one important is chasing me. Anyway, It's nice to see the "normal guy pursued by big brother in the 21st century" has become such a lucrative genr...( read more)e. Keep em coming.

    A good plot but I feel something is missing

    Loved this movie, it was amazingly done well and all the actors did awesome jobs.

    The only thing that could have really made this movie better would be if it was a little more focused on technology. But yet in a way it was at least realistic instead of filled with all kinds of rediculously over-dramatized and over-hyped gadgets.

    Just as ba- nix that. Worse than Eagle Eye. No action, no storyline, no audience engagement, it was awful.
