Feels like a modern update of the movie Hackers, directed by someone who can do a pretty decent David Fincher impression behind the camera. It’s also exceptionally stupid. Not that there’s anything wrong with watering a concept like this down for a teenage audience, but there’s just nothing interesting left here. It’s flashy and fast paced, but exceptionally vapid and juvenile, strongly lacking in entertainment value. Its punk spirit feels like a put on, thereby specifically pandering to the kind of angry teenager who feels like the world is against them. It’s like someone with the most surface level understanding of Fight Club trying to recreate its ethos and failing miserably. Again, none of that would be a problem if it was good at being surface level entertainment (not everything needs to be Mr. Robot), but the below average acting and lack of memorable scenes make this an instant skip. Couple of points for some of its visual inventiveness (which I assume got Baran bo Odar his next directing gig, and that should be the silver lining here) and decent use of sound, besides that it’s pretty much dull from beginning to end.
