Notorious hacker Drew Reynolds is captured by the CIA and given a proposition - work for them or spend the rest of his life in prison.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Even Throwaways can be recycled. Not to be mentioned can be used anyway. One mans trash is another mans ... You probably heard that before. And you've very likely have seen this or something like this before. The actors do their best (of their abilities) to make this as fun and tension filled as possible.But there is no doubt, that almost every twist and turn is predictable. Having said that, the relationships between the characters are really neat and the action is decent for a low budget movie too. Love interest and beauties aside, this has an "old school" feel to it, that will either enhance your viewing pleasure or annoy you

This is your typical movie like "Fast and Furious" or XXX where the rebellious youths end up working for the government. It feeds the pathetic and immature desires to "fit in" and "be liked" by those more powerful than you. I'd love to see one of these types of movies go full out Rebellion for a change instead of groveling to the government for their table scraps. The pace of the movie is good and makes this an acceptable watch if you are sick one day and need a dozen movies you've never seen yet. The actors were skilled, especially the lead. The director is not responsible for the story-line either so he gets credit for making the movie a passable watch.

This is my first experience of viewing a made for online movie and was skeptical until reading the reviews. It is many notches above the made for TV assembly line trash so prevalent today. Yes, it is an oft used plot and has the time worn action scenes but it works. The storyline is for the most part fast paced. The characters are fairly well developed and the actors are well cast. Sam Worthington and James Caan are excellent. The bottom tier agents, the "throwaways," are a little over the top but still enjoyable to watch. Katie McGrath is wonderful and lovely to look at. I am really surprised that mainstream Hollywood is so late in noticing her.The only thing that really bothered me was when Dan and Dmitri kept referring to an RPG as a bazooka. (Hey, I had to find some fault with this movie)! Forget the low budget and just immerse yourself into an entertaining bit of film making. Would I watch it again? You bet! Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have!

I really enjoyed this slapstick comedy. It is the mother of B grade action films and really makes fun of what has become of the Hollywood Action genre.The jokes are corny and satirize everything from the now obligatory hot chick fight and female assassin to the ridiculous Hollywood "foreigner" talks funny and is charming trope. The plot developments such as literally hot wiring a gas station to oh no the thumb drive has been dropped and is now unusable are absolutely hilarious. A healthy dose of the American, "lets blow sh?t up routine" is thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this picture and whilst it wasn't A grade cinema it was terribly good at a B grade takedown of Hollywood Action stereotypes.Oh and to Marcus_Rehnberg I am certainly not on any *payroll* eithercheck out other reviews and things that may interest you on my *unpaid* site filmstvandlife.wordpress.com C U There!!!!!!
