Plagued by paper-thin characterizations and a hackneyed script, this garbage pail of a movie fails to live up to even the minimum standards of what a film should be.
I would recommend these actors stay far away from any future production from this writer/director/disaster if they wish to have a viable career.
First, this production squanders its presently popular source material with incomprehensible plotting, nonsensical and dizzying dialogue, and detached joyless direction. The fundamental topic should've made this an easy, quick win for an indie film, but somehow they totally pooped the bed with this one.
Second, most of these actors are true craftsmen. They definitely practice and hone and polish their craft. The one character I can't get away from however is Crypto/Gizzi. Like seeing steam emanate from winter latte, the actor has this rare mixture of poor misunderstanding of acting refinements with an air of "I can do this all day" that completely ruins the film. He doesn't have to say it, but it shows. Independent films, having above all other traits, are admirable for showing hungry artists that are eager for their big break, with quality acting that rivals some of the household names. I have immense pity for him.
Third, this "true story" drains its material of all the present-day significance of and whittles it down to literally 60 minutes of backflips and banality. There are some high ideas to be found buried beneath all the rubble, but they're so obscured by the hyperactive action scenes and overdependence on gimmicks that they don't really register.
This product is a mess from start to finish. There are typos "F. B. I" - missing the last period - anyone? Unintentional character cross-over leaks. Weird lighting reminiscent of a 90s drug-fueled techno rave.
My take: leave the drugs at home and watch this instead. I think anything future-wise from this production team is better off ignored.
