This movie isn't worth the time it took me to download. For a start with the exception of the initial opening scene which had some entertaining moments there are few redeeming features. Its so bad I decided to post my first review. Borrowed plot - not an original idea in the whole movie. Scenes ripped almost completely from other movies. Borrowed characters - cardboard characters which seemed like rip-offs from other genres (Dirty Dozen) minus the acting skills. Unlikely outcomes - someone needs to explain to America that typing rapidly on a keyboard with 18 windows open isn't how the real hackers do it?Cracking serious encryption by guessing passwords and similar techniques was a gag in the 90's - doesn't really stand up in 2015. Plastic acting - for the most part the acting was poor. I got about 30 minutes in and wished I hadn't bothered. I cant tell you about the end - I didn't get that far. I'm willing to bet though that it was a cliché ending - when will the US take a leaf out of Britain's movie industry and learn to write a good ending - all the US movies seem to be more concerned that there be an opportunity for a sequel. Don't waste your time.

Let's be clear: this is an ugly film. Many things (too many to list them) are under the common standard so I don't expect you to like it. I personally enjoyed it, however: it's ironic (so ironic that I wondered if it were made ugly on purpose). It's full of great artists, starting from James Caan and ending with Jeremy Renner (movie's executive producer). It has a good plot (it could have been a very nice graphic novel), dumb enough to not be taken too seriously…But above all it transmits a special kind of fun, as if the cast (which was made of very well known actors such as Noel Clarke, Sam Huntington, Katie McGrath or Matt Dillon's brother, Kevin) had a really good time playing bad and good guys in one of the cheapest locations you could imagine, in Sofia, Bulgaria.

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!

Expectations are usually pretty low for online film--it just hasn'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 works as a parody of modern action films about as well as it functions as an intentionally messy action/comedy romp. As for cast, Sam Huntington steals every scene as the main protagonist. Haven'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. Honestly this probably would've worked best as a TV show, and I wouldn't mind it if they continued as such. 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 be as good as a 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'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'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're trying to make. Overall, I definitely recommend it.
