Too much of everything

ridiculous rating

Good concept, poorly executed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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 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!
