Decrypted

I really enjoyed this film - with no idea what to expect, I sat down and enjoyed the ride that the story and characters gave us...

There are a good number of laugh out loud moments, and the script cleverly works in many current issues - and makes us think about them which few comedies attempt to do, let alone succeed.

It's a good, fun, leftfield comedy. Well acted, shot and directed.

Very interesting and engaging take on the world of cryptocurrencies. Great for everyone following this rapidly growing market. Although clearly through a comical lense, it gives an exciting point of view.

Very funny and thanks to Sodium Pentothal, told a lot of truth about how people feel about racism, homophobia, sex workers and everything else in this crazy world.

The trailer for this movie is a bit misleading. The film is definitely a riot, I laughed out loud at least a dozen times. But the theme of honesty is really powerful. There are some scenes that really stuck with me, like when George and Martin are discussing immigration or the Sofia character is talking about her gender. They really hit me in the gut - I wasn't expecting that. What also amazed me was how much I felt for characters that I initially thought were really hateful individuals (thinking of Buck or George here). A very original screenplay and wonderfully directed with a perfect cast. The Bitcoin angle did not interest me as much as it would some other people - hence 8/10 instead of 10/10.

Decrypted is a riot. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying it's an NSA mission to take down bitcoin that goes horribly wrong. That's in the synopsis all over the place. But it's so much more than that. You've got all these kind of twisted characters who are forced to come clean about their prejudices and discuss them. Exactly what isn't happening in the world right now. But it's no done in any kind of preachy way. It's constantly entertaining and really funny. I laughed out loud seven or eight times. And I was in a bad mood when I sat down to watch it. Brilliant stuff.
