This is a dark and moody film, at least that is what it's aiming for. It's trying to be suspenseful and tense but the inherent nature of computers is that they are actually a bit dull. There is a bit of a fight and a chase but it's a bit contrived and it sort of had to be there.

Having a buff, attractive leading man paired with his buddy and a random potential love interest is a tired format as it is and more suited to bank robbing/spy themes where at least things happen.

The geek-speak is exceptionally funny. It ranges from nonsensical to toddler simplicity.

Save yourself a couple of hours. It'll be interesting to see what the tech press say about it, haven't seen any reviews yet but I'm sure they'll turn up. For now though, I don't really have anything good to say about this film and I actually wanted it to be enjoyable too.

If this makes an average over 6 stars I would be surprised. As a film it's all a bit of crap visual comedy but if you view it as simply a series of sketches strung together loosely based on a series of memorable scenes from the original franchise you'll probably rather enjoy it.

Written and directed by the guys that did the Scream series on a shoestring budget. Unknown actors good a pretty fair job.

I like films and cars. As a film it's not that great but as a bit of light Sunday afternoon comedy it's perfectly passable. It's the sort of film that will bomb at the box office because the core 15-25 male market will probably dismiss it in public but will soar on torrent sites in private.

Michelle delivers some dynamite lines, The Rock is pretty funny too. Paul seems to sidelined a bit, almost on purpose it feels like, a little contrived but understandable. Dom gets the best lines but fluffs them a bit but I thinks that's poor direction as he nails others. Vince, arguably, does the best parody performance of the lot, in a comedy he is the comic relief.

Don't expect too much and don't be 'that guy' on Reddit picking holes in a film that has no pretences to be a fine piece of art and you'll probably enjoy it.
