Synopsis

Michael Nouri stars in this high-tech thriller as Brad Weston, a digital tycoon who must fend off attacks from his former partner, who's unleashed a computer virus onto the entire system at his firm Autocom. But the virus appears to be a true menace that's determined to destroy anyone -- or anything -- that comes its way. Now, Weston must rely on his son (Matthew Ewald), a teenager with a penchant for hacking, to stop the menace in its tracks.

Ernst Hehne This has been the most awful film I have ever seen. These kind of films most often have special effects which are breath taking. For what I have seen, even King Kong (the 1933 version) has better special effects (and that without the use of a computer!). Picture the special effect at a thunderbirds level and this is what you receive. The storyline is stupid. For instance we are talking here about a world threatening virus. This virus will destroy everything on the surface of the earth. And only the mare the city is spoken to. If this guy should be some sort of bill gates .. He is driving a car belonging to a beer bellied salesman or some sort of construction worker (not to offend these type of professions). And then the plot, it is soooooooo predictable. Alright, this DVD costed me only one euro but even that was wayyyyyy to much. At least it helps in building a large DVD collection )looks nice in the cupboard'!!!
uds3 Irredeemably amateurish as this is, it is more entertaining than many big-name flicks...maybe on account of its very trashiness.Nouri, something less than an A-list actor even in his prime, plays Brad Weston, head of the crappiest looking software company you ever saw. After Busfield (employee reject of the year) throws a spaz and uses Weston's son to download a smart virus into the company computer (in a song no less)which manages among other things to blow a Ukraine nuclear facility to the hereafter - this has to be the WORST special effect ever foisted on to the viewing public at large - things just get dopier.One must pay homage admittedly to the plastic plane sequences, not to mention the hand-drawn silo launching fx. Salaries aside (assuming anyone was PAID for this) the film obviously had a budget of less than $500....refreshments included! Defying plausibility from the word go, the conceptual brilliance of wiping out an entrenched super-virus, capable of speech and thought incidentally, with a hand-held "Game-Boy" is nothing short of awesome in its originality.A classic of low-rent sci-fi.
Habib (movie_obsessed_dude) POSSIBLE SPOILERS INCLUDED!How could a group of people deal with this ultimate poor plot? Though it had little poorly exiting shots which undoubtedly make you yawn! The lack of reality and even consistency in the plot could be easily observed with poor acting conducted by three main people. The fake relationship going between main people was damn simple and idiot enough to let you go through with it completely.The worst part of this movie could be addressed to where Brad found the server infected by that stupid virus and was trying to stop it by pushing two buttons on a GAMEBOY!!!Has little funny stupid elements to waste your time on!!!Habib's Assessment: 2 / 10!
F1ame The art of tension is creating high stakes, and then dancing on the edge of disaster until the climax.When the audience is cringing at the plethora of ridiculous scenarios spewed onto the screen in front of them, tension is not achieved.The basic premiss is not too bad. We've seen these virus films before, and the potential is there for a couple of programmer spods to do effective battle with a virus. But you have to truly research the subject, and you might realize computers can't fire guns, sign cheques, take showers... any of which would have not seemed out of place in this dross.There is little grace in the action. They pull over to have domestic conversations. Insert irregular and obtrusive dialogue. We might as well put a colour coded bar on to denote main and subplots.All that said, if you are the kind of person who doesn't know how to wind up your sundial, then you'll probably love this film.
