Zoe (Lucy Evans) visits her instructor Malcolm (David Horton) who she had a one night stand with in hopes of turning it into something more. She takes along her BFF Sarah (Kelly Adams) who has her back. Hot Asian chick Kendra (Calita Rainford) answers the door but she was/is with Declan (Jonathan Rhodes) a genius in a wheelchair. They are professional hackers who believe they can predict all events of the future if they have access to the original Old Testament with the original words and tablets. So they hack into the Vatican computer to obtain this information which triggers a strange series of events...not Buckaroo Banzai strange because this is only 7 dimensions with a smaller budget.The action takes place in one flat and mostly one room. The special effects and story line was hampered by the budget. The actors did a heck of a job to maintain my interest. I managed to catch a few and comprehend a little of the scientific jargon, and the rest, like bible codes, I play the skeptic. The production touches on fate and the paradox of prophecy.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
... View MoreI clearly wasn't thinking straight when I bought this DVD entitled Decoder, assuming it was the German film directed by Muscha. Why did the Japanese feel the need to change the title? Paid for it, might as well watch it, I thought, and then found I couldn't switch off the Japanese subtitles. The non-stop chatter and the histrionics gave me the impression that the script was written by a teenager and the only reason I ended up watching the whole silly film was because the cat went to sleep on my knee and I didn't want to disturb her. Unconvincing story and unconvincing performances. I'm not saying the acting is particularly bad, but it's English soap opera / sit-com level. The credits state 'This motion picture is a work of fiction'. No kidding. I've ordered a copy of Decoder. The right one this time.
... View MoreThe director deliver the message in such a slow pace and by the end of the movie viewers already lost interest to know what's the actual cause that the bunch of geeks trying to hack on.At least they can do better with a much better special effects on the movie. Although everyone knows this is a low budget movie. There is not enough of everything in this movie to be exact. No enough invigorating hot steamy scene and lack of high expectations. Which is why I gave the ratings as awful and really annoying movie cant even use it to past the time cause it is far from enjoyment let alone arousing the curiosity.
... View MoreApocalyptic conspiracy thrillers are a genre unto themselves. There are enough out there in film as well as literature (often these cross paths at some point). This is a new favorite for me.One night, Sarah hangs out with her impulsive friend Zoe. They end up at the home of Zoe's professor so that Zoe can proclaim her love. Sarah tags along.Once there, it is clear that this is not going to be just any ordinary girl's night out. Zoe's professor, Malcolm is working with a couple on a highly ambitious project decoding the secrets in the Torah. This entails hacking into the Vatican, avoiding being hacked by the Pentagon, remote readers from secret government projects, and a lot of thinking outside of the visible dimensions.Malcolm, Declan, and Andrea along with the assistance/distraction of Zoe and Sarah are about to open doors that some feel should never be opened, and others have dreamed about cracking for a long time.What ensues is a fantastical, fascinating, fatal, and final, fast-paced ride.If this is a genre you enjoy, I would say give this one a definite GO! It is Pi in color and without the personal journey towards insanity plus DaVinci Code without the silly, far-fetched, and cheese-ball theories.
