So another title with "Internet" written all over, "just because" it's modern and cool. In the first 10 minutes you are met with several computer screens that fulfil every cliche of hollywood computer screen display: you have the large text whenever you do something ("COPYING" / "FILE COPIED" ). There is the constant number generating in small window text in the background. And most annoyingly: EVERY SINGLE event on the computer is done to a metallic "bleep / beep",
Of course the beeping / number generating starts immediately when the "hackers" open the screen. Of course the bad guys randomly can gain access to a safe room. Probably typed "OVERRIDE" somewhere when asked for a password.
These points make the movie completely laughable. This is of course forgetting how everyone speaks English, even in Luxemburg. Also the "Chinese" business woman.
Joke of a C movie.

Computers go "beep beep"
Revenge or what(?)
What happens in a room, stays in a room ... well not exactly what is happening. Placing a movie inside one room and making it interesting may sound easy, but it really isn't. In this case you get more than just a few glimpses of people outside and what they go through and what they "try" to do to stop whatever is happening inside and on the internet.
A high concept I believe this is called. It has an interesting twist towards the end ... overall nicely done, but miss that extra something that would give this an edge towards other movies of the same kind. As it is, it is an ok movie to say the least
