Mack's Movies 2013: May (17 movies items)

" May 7th: Online streaming, computer Overall opinion: Comically bad My comments on this came out longer than I expected but look at it this way: you can not watch this bad movie and compared to the 95 minutes you just saved yourself, reading the next few paragraphs is no time at all. It amuses me to no end that Netflix brags about this movie winning an award and it baffles me that there are 4 out of 5 star reviews for it. Some reviewers even called it a masterpiece. I wonder what their stan"

"Friday, July 27th An unexpected movie that was pretty good. Very Matrix-y. You really have to pay attention, though, otherwise you'll be lost in all of the different identities."

The future kind of sucks. (231 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Industrial spying, and sabotage are the order of the day, and everything is over seen by super mega companies. Year it takes place: Near futurish, 21st century"

An average movie

“Since I'm a huge fan of 'Cube', I was really eager to watch this flick also directed by Vincenzo Natali. One again, it was a SF thriller but this time, they have added some industrial espionage to the mix. It was definitely an interesting combo and the beginning was indeed rather spellbinding. Indeed, they managed to create a fascinating world and I was never sure what was real and what I should believe. However, at some point, they tried to rationalize the whole thing, to explain what's going on and that's when they really lost me. Indeed, if the beginning was intriguing, the ending was messy, rather boring and far from being satisfactory. To be honest, I'm not sure if we should blame Jeremy Northam who gave a decent performance. Eventually, even though it really had some potential, the w” read more

"9.3 Cypher tarjoilee ihan mukavaa kertakäyttöviihdettä hyvällä juonella, mutta siihen se jääkin. Juoni tosiaan oikeastaan juoksee käänteestä toiseen ja jääkin hieman pinnalliseksi, mutta kertakäyttöviihteessä se toimiikin ihan hyvin. Visuaalisesti leffa on paikoitellen erittäin komeankin näköinen, huomaa että leffa on Cuben ohjaajan käsialaa. Pääosaa vetävä Northam vetää iha hyvän roolisuorituksen, mutta paikoitellen vähän ontuu kuitenkin. Liu on aika tasaisen varma"

"Teknopainajainen scifi -elementein. Lucy Liu femme fatalena kiihdyttää hieman pulssia."

"Director Vincenzo Natali followed up his brilliantly nightmarish 1997 horror, Cube, with the desperately underrated sci-fi dystopia of Cypher five years later. Jeremy Northam is excellent as Morgan Sullivan, a mild-mannered accountant who finds an escape from his dull suburban existence by signing up as a corporate spy for a shadowy organisation called Digicorp. Revelling in his newfound freedom, Sullivan, now known as Jack Thursby, enjoys his apparently pointless task of secretly taping presen"
