A recently-ex-con world-renown hacker is swept into the well-planned efforts to fund long-term anti-terrorist terrorism.

I-like-hyphens.

Ignoring the Hollywood-hacker bullshit, it’s a good movie, particularly because so few, at least at its release, would be so A-class and yet have this particular topic. It helps shape the understanding of the passion behind Lawful Evil.

A group of friends gets in deep and bumbles into crime to settle things.

Reminds me a lot of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – (1998 movie) crossed with The Usual Suspects – (1995 movie). Overall it’s fair, but not that great and absolutely not worth a second watch.

A cop’s early investigation into a police fund theft has him killed, leaving his framed hostage-negotiator partner to use the only tool he has available to find the real killer.

A really great movie with a unique topic. Recommended.
