Disturbing yet enthralling

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

A skillful software designer for a video game manufacturer, Carly Kendall (Diana Reis), has become engaged in an illicit scheme whereby she hacks into large corporate banking accounts, skimming monies from them and transferring the amounts into a "dummy" account shared by her with her white collar confederates in crime, only to find that their monetary ambitions equal a potentially perilous future for all those involved. When Carly decides to keep all of the illegally gained proceeds, 3.5 million dollars, for herself, and abscond with it to Brazil, her fellow grifters are quite naturally displeased with her treachery, to the point of wishing her to be dead, and since she has encoded the hiding place of the stolen cash within the software of her most recent video game creation, Thrillkill, "The Game That Plays You", Carly and her somewhat bewildered sister Bobbie (Gina Massey), whom she has supposedly taken into her confidence, find themselves menaced by the other conspirators who are frantically searching for the hidden loot and becoming quite homicidal during the course of their quest. Eventually, the final survivors from the greedy group of miscreants assemble at "the convention center" (performed by the Ontario Science Center, in Toronto) to skirmish with each other in efforts to pare down the number of plotters, thereby increasing profits for any survivors. This film is noteworthy in one regard, that the nine principal characters are all consistent liars, and none seems to flirt with much more than a semblance of honour or loyalty, although the script does not allow for any sort of character development, but rather provides essentially one episode of taut suspense following closely upon another, generally abetted by a partially electronic score. The work's director, Anthony Kramreither, sensibly allows cinematographer John Clement to develop these scenes, as his compositions are inspiring throughout the production. It should be mentioned that several of the cast are able to occasionally vary their facial expressions, proving to be the gamest of efforts when considering a sapless screenplay. Editing by Nick Rotundo and the director helps to provide a briskly paced, albeit less than memorable, affair.

This is a good, dark, action flick.Most notable is LAURA ROBINSON who plays one of the assassins, and is an ULTIMATE BITCH (you love to hate!).She is even better here than as the evil step-mother in MIKEY.Watch Laura strangle the girl on the glass coffee table! Watch Laura kill her fellow assassins! Watch Laura try to get even with her former lover and agent who has fallen for the heroine!Watch Laura on the escalator in the final scene! WHEW!If you are a fan of SEXY, EVIL WOMEN, see this one!

Not very many people have watched this movie honestly, I mean do you ever see in in the rentals at all? (I know I never have) Yes, a "B" movie, who wants to see those these days... everyone would rather go and watch Hilary Duff, I know. I barely ever see anything good on TV anymore. I think that this movie was aight. I don't think I would have ever watched it if I hadn't been related to Colleen Embree (Toni Parish). The plot was alright I suppose. I mean you usually do want a story but it could have been expanded a bit. It seemed so vague on the information.The ending was really where it started to go wrong though, it was just all too quick and it didn't really make sense. All the action was good but it moved too quickly right back into that whole "everything's gonna be okay" idea. Was is not a little bit too cheesy. I almost want to wonder what happened to everyone else.

The story is quite boring. A bunch of people are after money. Big deal, woopdy doo. Like that hasn't been the plot of a million movies...There is 3 million dollars floating around somewhere that this videogame designed by Carly has secretly made. It started "dummy accounts" and shaved off some of the profit from some big corporations and ended up making 3 million. Kind of like the scheme in Office Space.This time, there are violent mafia-type people looking for the money. Carly's sister gets unknowingly and unwillingly wrapped up in the situation. Everyone lies to the sister (Bobbie) the whole time to try to get her to tell them where the money is. But she really has no clue where the money is. Yep, it's that boring.I did like the color and the camera style of the movie. I don't know anything about cinematography, but for some reason, the way they filmed this really stood out. I couldn't tell you why. Everything was very clear and crisp. I liked that. The computer in the movie was pretty ominous, too. Some movies from the 80's try to have computers in them and you just laugh at how dumb and outdated they are. This computer was actually one step up from that.The only part of the movie I liked was the relationship between Bobbie and Frank. I thought they were kind of cute. And Bobbie did a good job at playing "hard to get" while still maintaining her dignity.However, I would not recommend watching this movie. Really.
