Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe director and producer first spoke about the story in June 2013. By August the film was fully financed, and a year later, the film was fully completed. It shot in Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kazakhstan, edited in Los Angeles, and finished in Toronto.
- GoofsThe Australian actor playing Alex refers to himself early in the movie as an "adult" with an accent on the second syllable, while every Canadian--including Ukrainian and Russian immigrants--would place the accent on the first syllable. In other words, he was using an American accent after having supposedly grown up in Canada according to the plot.

Stock Exchange Research: You know, ever since the banks started to suffer these cyber-attacks, the market has been shaky. Fortunately, the federal reserve chairman started to pull more money into the economy and things started to stabilize, better housing, less taxes, more money for you, more money for me, more money for all of us.

Featured review
I like a good hacker movie. This starts brilliantly - but goes nowhere and flounders around like a, er, flounder in a floundering thing.
As others have said, it's not so much about hacking as about scamming. It's full of very poor research and just plain wrong technical stuff. Sigh.
That there's 'something off' is so obvious but the characters don't twig. Uh oh... Dummies! Oh, and the film summary itself gives half the game away.
Apart from that, the plot just did't hang together.
Writer/director - uh oh....
He tries to bring in a character arc where the protagonist learns the errors of his ways but, heck, it's enforced, not realistic given the character and, well, total dumbbells.
Add a terrible, contrived unrealistic and dumb ending and you've got a so-so movie for people who don't know Windows from door frames - no, strike that - for people who are still looking for the Any Key!
Yup, I'll say it again - Writer/director - uh oh....
