Hunting the Phantom (2014)
The action of this story begins in the near future. The great device codenamed as the “Phantom” is invented by the Global Security Corporation in order to eliminate the crime and to establish a secure global community. But, it is not how it really is. The reverse side of the “Phantom” is to establish an absolute control over people’s minds. The Corporation aims to change the course of the history, by gaining the community of obedient “puppets”, who would never realize that their minds are being controlled. Step by step, the “Phantom” fractures people’s lives, but nobody suspects anything, until it destroys the lives of in-love couple- Timur and Keira. She is convicted of murder, and he needs to break the law to save her. An American criminal hacker named Zach helps Timur to find the truth, and to uncover the Corporation’s conspiracy.

Best movie of this year hands down!
Touches You
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This action and FX packed movie was made in Kazakhstan; it is the first time I see a movie of that origin. I do not believe this movie had a budget that could compare to Hollywood (or a Hong Kong ) film; however the action is continuous and the digital sequences (perhaps needing some retouching) are spectacular enough.Sadly the editing and some incomplete scenes give away the limited budget; it is far more spectacular that any recent B movie. The acting is not that bad; but the dubbing for the American market does not help. It even has an aging Armand Assante and very beautiful Kristanna Loken doing some important but secundary parts both really correct.A more worked script should had helped; but in any case is a B+ movie.
At first blush the plot seemed fine but it became fragmented for the remainder of the movie, the action segments were good but the story line was so fragmented it was very hard to follow and the main focus of the movie was so hit and miss you never followed what they were looking for in the first place. The story line was badly maintained keeping the viewer less intrigued throughout, I wanted more tech and less action but the tech should have been the star and it was lost to me in my humble opinion. Having watched this movie with English dubbing lost a lot of the actors emotion and plot. I would never wish to go see the film again as it seemed a waste of time and money.
