I checked this film out on a whim and it was a real treat. It's not the greatest movie of all time but it is for sure one of the best low budget films I've seen in awhile.
The story is very simple but that's also what makes it fun as it chooses a more stylistic approach over a heavy concept. It's less of a morality tale and more of a roller coaster ride, driving you from one scene to the next at break neck speed. Its characters are over the top and intriguing.
Speaking of characters the cast does a great job of bringing them to life. While some performances are definitely stronger than others, the ones that work really work. The stand out for me was the hacker, Auggie played by Jack Griffo. His wit and comedic timing stole every scene he was in. All the characters managed to pull me in and made me care about this over the top world that the filmmakers created.
The fights and the effects were extremely well done, especially for a film of this level. There were areas where you could tell they pushed the limits of their budget but nothing was so off that it took me out of the experience.
Overall it was a fun watch that kept me entertained as long as you're okay with a more "style over substance" type of film. If you're a fan of action and zany characters this give this a shot.
