I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I bought this DVD entitled Decoder, assuming it was the German film directed by Muscha. Why did the Japanese feel the need to change the title? Paid for it, might as well watch it, I thought, and then found I couldn't switch off the Japanese subtitles. The non-stop chatter and the histrionics gave me the impression that the script was written by a teenager and the only reason I ended up watching the whole silly film was because the cat went to sleep on my knee and I didn't want to disturb her. Unconvincing story and unconvincing performances. I'm not saying the acting is particularly bad, but it's English soap opera / sit-com level. The credits state 'This motion picture is a work of fiction'. No kidding. I've ordered a copy of Decoder. The right one this time.

The director deliver the message in such a slow pace and by the end of the movie viewers already lost interest to know what's the actual cause that the bunch of geeks trying to hack on.At least they can do better with a much better special effects on the movie. Although everyone knows this is a low budget movie. There is not enough of everything in this movie to be exact. No enough invigorating hot steamy scene and lack of high expectations. Which is why I gave the ratings as awful and really annoying movie cant even use it to past the time cause it is far from enjoyment let alone arousing the curiosity.

well first i was trying to focus on the dialogues what the characters were saying but i think the actors were given a lot of dialogues which they had to complete in a short time . so they were talking so speedy. and the movie was technologically so advance and complicated that most of the things which they were discussing was out of a normal man's reach. so much stuff regarding hacking and technology, a few characters were introduced like they were going to play a turning role in the movie, like the ghost, but they were the guest characters so disappointment was the fate of this hope. i think this movie was waste of time. it was so boring. i would recommend the people who want to enjoy their weekend or precious time, please find something else to watch rather than this. and those who have watched. my sympathies are with you :)

The film is set in London, although the story sees only a pinch of the city and is plotted inside a tatty London flat.It's a psychological paranormal film, are the characters going mad or is there something supernatural at force? Sarah comes from a strict RC mother and knows her religious passages, although, she's not a firm follower herself. She has her beliefs tested throughout this film, with a glimpse of possibility that she could fall for the insanely ranting Declan.Basically, 2 Uni student girls, go out on a whim to visit one of their 'love interest's', which turns out to be a 1 night stand that her friend can not get over and has to pursue. Evidently, this guy feels the same way, the big issue with this, is that he is her lecturer at Uni (doh!). Only, they get an evening that they were not bargaining for! Upon entering her love interest's flat, they find 2 other people, a Gothic bi-polar American lass and a deluded ranting crippled brit. All 3 are on a mission to hack the vatican's archives, in the hopes that they can find the elusive 'Torah' in a 3rd dimension, meaning that they may be able to crack the most sort after code, in centuries.During this time, you do get to see declan becoming more deluded, schizophrenic could be a term for him. Breaking into the vatican record, for him, is life changing and not in a good way.The film never expanded on the 'supernatural attack', just words like 'CIA's remote viewers' and 'Vatican ghosts' were usually flung about.A super natural low budget thriller that would have justified it's self better, if the plot wasn't so scatty and lacking.Saving grace of this film................quality cast.Not a bad film but by means,it's no 'Da Vinci' code!
