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.

They say they are supposed to be using sodium pentemax, which is made up its sodium pentethol that is used as a truth drug is what would make you behave like they do. The main character mentions he is using sodium pentemax a truth drug around 51 mins into the film. Sodium pentathol has been used as a truth drug for decades. I hope this helps the guy asking what drug they were using, don't mean to offend but it was the main premise of the film and if you missed that then you wasn't listening or watching the film properly so you probably shouldn't rate it in the first place, OK film think I'm just sick of the relentless low budget films released this year because of covid, they postponed a lot of films because of covid but in the 2 years since it all started there has been endless films based around covid or a ficticous virus, like they knew about trhe pandemic before it happened, most films take years of planning before filming yet a covid related film was released every few months on average during the pandemic???? Yet were still waiting for films like the new Dr strange movie that's been completed just not released!

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.

Sophomorish attempt at a pretty good cinematic idea - demonstrating non politically correct views on various topics of interests.

Dialogue pushes pass socially acceptable opinions and shows the psychological truth behind why some people choose to do what they do.

I can see what they were trying to achieve with this movie, and there are traces of talent in the writing, albeit sparse. However its just not been done well enough and falls more than a little short in execution.

The script needs an extensive rewrite, the production a competent director, and the cast or at least some of the major roles... recasting.

There are zero laugh out loud moments and even though you hope there are going to be at least some humorous ones, they never materialize and instead your left with an expectant grimace on your face as you painfully watch the screenplay unfold.

Unfortunately (it gets worse) there isn't even much of a underlying story here, so there isn't even an entertainment factor on the basic level.

OK watch at your own risk, but there is nothing to see here.

Do yourself a favor and give it a miss.
