| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerIt has the earmarks of a lavish, high budget production for an all-star cast but the way it's done reminds me of the first time I tried to get up on skis. |
| User ReviewChris HI watched this purely from the perspective of being a Michael Parks fan. This stands out as one of the better films in his later career I feel, both for his performance and its qualty all round. The terrifying nature of the government's eavesdropping ability is exercised to great use. Parks plays quaint and good intentioned - something I haven't really seen him do before - and does it well. It's well directed and very dramatically involving throughout. Either to check out some decent Parks, or just a damn good government cover-up film, this one is certainly worth a look. |
| User ReviewHarbi AThis film talks about how much humans become very advance and strong to the limit they became their own enemy |
| User ReviewSV GAn interesting movie that draw a frightening picture of how the NSA could misuse the Echelon comunication surveillance system to help private companies. It is scary because these things really excists. So remove the battery in your cell pohone next time You don't want Big Brother to listen. |
| User ReviewAslak EVery interesting, given that NSA and DARPA sponsored development of keyword-spotting technology in the late 90's. Some ideas in the movie, e.g. that all (international?) phone calls are monitored, or that any cell phone can act as a bug, are realities today.. Scary, if you have an iPhone where you can't remove the battery.. Anyhow, it's a decent movie. The way they hacked into the system is unbeleivable though. |
| User ReviewMarischa BThe storyline was very confusing!!! you must listen and concentrate the whole movie to understand it!!! but wasn't good cuz the lead actor died in the end, well at least he save the girl's life!!!!! |
| User ReviewSergio RSurprisingly tenseful, despite the unusual lack of action (for a spy movie). Sansa is one of Italy's best young actresses. |
| User ReviewKonrad RScary technology. We are living in George Orwell's nightmare world. |
| User ReviewArno MAn accumulation of bullshit about a worrisome subject ... not worth the time ! |
