Some great elements in here that don’t quite add up to anything worth committing to, but it has me interested in its inspiration, a film called Garde à vue. I think that’s because it’s attempting to do something formally experimental with the genre, like The Pledge, but doesn’t quite have the mise-en-scene to get you inside the characters. For Freeman or Hackman completists, eh sure, but for Bellucci completists, a must.

Fuzzy motivations and a bogus soundtrack mar this otherwise serviceable hacker thriller whose heart is in the right place (open source & friendship defeat Bill Gates). Very silly ending with lots of double crosses. Tim Robbins and Ryan Philippe are both compelling, as is the production designer who decided to line the office walls with cool boards, going from wakeboards to snowboards to surfboards (cool to coolest), and set the stage for frutiger aero. It’s basically halfway between The Skulls and The Firm. Less cool than Hackers but somehow more entertaining than Sneakers.

Hugh Grant has fun and Chloe East is a convincing Mormon, but this is a film about being in talk jail with a redditor. A24 has gentrified mansplaining
