This is a very noisy movie - bernie - Arlington, Texas
Max Peterson (Shane West) a computer security installer who remembers backdoor passwords in case something goes wrong is just finishing a project. He receives a mysterious FedEx package that he did not order. It contains a new cell phone of the type that is not even on the market yet. Upon turning it on it immediately precedes to save his life and is in the process of making him a millionaire. This looks like fun so he goes with the flow. Little did he know that he is part of some sort of global conspiracy. Will he find out what it is in time to live long enough to spend those millions?
This is very noisy movie with lots of promising heavy sounds and whatnot luckily you can hear the dialog thralldom sound. There is lots of action and it is actually quite fun to watch. There is no real depth to this story yet the twists and turns are fun to watch. There is the obligatory sex scene, which seems out of place and is not that racy. Much of the dialogue and scenarios are lifted from previous films. One that comes to mind is the end of "War Games" were the computer has to play tic-tac-toe with itself to realize that there is no acceptable move but not to play. This could also bring to mind the Star Trek episode where the computer realizes that he is destroying the very people he is supposed to protect. There is also a dash of "Colossus the Forbin project."
In any event, it is fun to watch the interaction twin the fresh new actors and some of the seasoned ones.
Just a note I saw the Blu-ray version and was amazed at the lack of DVD extras. Not even the voice over commentary that tries to justify.
Oh what intricate circuits we create - Melissa R. Mendelson - New York, USA
My days are spent cruising the web, drifting through email, and blogging to night's end. The soft hum of my cell stirs me from my daze, and a voice mail waits to be heard. A social gathering is texted to my attention, and I tweet its details to my loyal followers. And I stretch further into the cyberspace, losing myself over corridors of circuitry, and trying to capture the world, but the four walls around me say different, keeping me in isolation. But this is how I live. This is how we live. No more days are spent without holding the hands to technology because we fear disconnection, but have we relinquished our control for our need to connect? And what if the day comes where all our actions become record, all secrets bleed out across the screen, and we are denied from breathing the freedom that was so adamantly fought for? What days wait for us then?
