Cyberlante

I enjoyed this experimental film. The pace at the start was a little slow and you weren't sure where it was headed but once the thread became obvious, it was gripping. Couldn't let go and loved the ending. Reserve your judgement and enjoy it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well shot, naturally acted crime thriller. It's amazing what's been accomplished with a small budget!

For being a super low budget thriller made by a bunch of amateurs (reportedly thrown together from whatever was left after infighting caused some of the key crew members from a different project to cancel the original film and take off), this was surprisingly okay.

The hacking sequences were passable (some overlays of progress bars and code and stuff, but nothing terribly distracting), not nearly as goofy as the 90s hacker movie tropes we're all used to.

Still, the movie definitely had its faults. At one point, a barista is delivering his one line and an unnecessary over-the-shoulder shot focuses on it written out on the pad of paper he's holding. Also, for the epilogue they use a blooper take where the actors start cracking up and joking at the end for some reason?

There are definitely worse ways to spend 73 minutes. If you can look past the movie's rookie mistakes and weird decisions, it's worth checking out.

You're not sure what to expect with a no budget film, let alone one shot on a smartphone, but this is a beautifully shot, beautifully paced film which slowly draws you in as the suspense gradually builds. Highly recommended!

Matt, an ex-carjacker who is getting into computer hacking as a hobby, is trying to go straight and takes a job in the kitchen of a quaint English inn owned by Clayton. After having enough of Clayton's issues, Matt starts digging around and discovers that Clayton is super abusive towards the women he dates, might have killed his last girlfriend, and is currently harassing a woman named Georgina. Figuring that he can't go to the cops (because of the whole carjacking thing), Matt decides to become a cyber vigilante (oh no, is that what "cyberlante" is supposed to mean?) and take Clayton down himself.
