646f9e108c Notorious hacker Drew Reynolds is captured by the C.I.A. and given a proposition, work for them, or spend the rest of his life in prison. Agreeing on the condition that he can form his own team, he puts together a group of &quot;throwaways&quot;, people deemed expendable, and seemingly the worst in the organization. Expectations are usually pretty low for online film–it just hasn&#39;t been done with much success yet. So it is with great surprise and general reluctance after precondemning the movie to failure that I admit this film was actually pretty entertaining. Overall–Clever, self- aware, even charming at parts. It is tongue-in-cheek from the start and worksa parody of modern action films aboutwellit functionsan intentionally messy action/comedy romp. <br/><br/>As for cast, Sam Huntington steals every scenethe main protagonist. Haven&#39;t liked him this much since Fanboys. Dillion is priceless too, and plays a character who just gets better and better the further the film progresses. He, by far, has the best bit, played towards the end. I had never heard of McGrath before, but she was game and very beautiful. Their action sequences are both humorous and suspenseful, in that order. <br/><br/>Honestly this probably would&#39;ve worked besta TV show, and I wouldn&#39;t mind it if they continuedsuch. My main issue is just the tone–are we supposed to take this serious? Is this the way my movies are going to reach me now? Is this supposed to begooda film Id see in a theater? I felt like at some points the cast/crew were asking themselves the same thing (esp Caan, in his most disappointing and detached performance to date). Given (again) the lack of comparisons to other online-film, I&#39;m going to give the tonal confusion a pass, but if they ever make a sequel or show to this, I hope they take it a bit more seriously. It&#39;s a solid concept and a cast with chemistry in a medium that works, but that undoubtedly works best when everyone knows what kind of film they&#39;re trying to make. <br/><br/>Overall, I definitely recommend it. As you might guess, I&#39;m not on any payroll from the movie makers. Bad acting, bad plot, bad photography, bad cutting and actually, bad picture quality. Use HD cams next time, guys. This must be a re-cut TV-pilot that got caned by obvious reasons.<br/><br/>It&#39;s like watching a really bad rerun of A-Team, but without the charm, action or the comparatively amazing FX. If you really need to see how an action/hacker movie should not be done, this is for you. The computer graphics look like they were made on a low-priced early 1990&#39;s computer with a Win 95 OS. Shall I go on? Please refrain from making any more movie attempts.
