College students LARPing as revolutionaries set a hacker up, but he causes a shitstorm in an agent training prison.

This is pretty good. It’s essentially a Dutch revisitation of the concepts in the French movie La Femme Nikita – (1990 movie). It’s straightforward and so it seems fairly low budget.

A coal miner survives an apocalypse, but his struggles are only beginning.
