CYPHER

After his directorial debut Cube, Vincenzo Natali brings us a suave, intelligent Sci-Fi thriller that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) yearns for a more exciting life so he changes his boring suburban lifestyle for a more fulfilling one by changing careers to become an industrial spy for a technological company called Digicorp.

Given a pen with a hidden microphone and receiver, his assignments are to go to conferences and secretly transmit the speeches to Digicorp HQ without exposing him or his employers. Knowing that industrial espionage is vital, Sullivan at long last feels he is significant and important especially that he goes under the name of Jack Thursby.

On his travels he comes across a beautiful environmental health officer; Rita Foster (Lucy Liu) who captivates him both mentally and physically. With her help and as he completes more assignments it is revealed to him that all is not what it seems. He uncovers a plot involving double crossing, double agents and brainwashing techniques to form new identities… all in the name of industrial espionage. On top of this, Sullivan has to battle against his own recurring nightmares, find the truth and wondering whom he can trust.

Natali's direction is first-rate. His vision and technique culminates in a visually striking movie. With traces of monochrome this picture has a dystopian feel attached to it as well as a touch of film noir. Even though there are a lot of influences from other movies and TV programs such as The X-Files, The Matrix, Swordfish, Gattaca, Natali does enough by keeping us intrigued by how the story will develop. This, in fact, is where Vincenzo Natali handles the movie very well. Where some directors would have shrouded us in confusion and psychobabble, (the Wachowski brothers. Sorry guys) Natali holds it together and ensures we grasp what is going on in terms of the story's development.

Characters we care about also seem to be very important to the director and this is epitomised by Northam's performance as the conservative spy, which is understated yet brilliant. He manages to succeed in expressing a range of differing emotions ranging from confusion and frustration to teenage excitement and ruthlessness. Lucy Liu again shows her credentials as a movie actress by putting in a solid performance as the mysterious Rita Foster. Support from Nigel Bennett (Finster) and Timothy Webber (Calloway) is adequate but also imperative to the film.

The musical score also plays a vital role in this picture by setting the whole mood, atmosphere and emotions of the characters, which in turn helps to keep the film flowing.

Cypher is a good film that does not rely on Michael Bay style big sets and even bigger explosions to entertain but it concentrates its efforts on strong performances, an interesting storyline and impressive direction. With these qualities it is pretty difficult to understand how this movie slipped under the radar. This is a very underrated picture and in the future more people will sit up and take notice. Cypher is definitely "better than your average sci-fi movie" and disproves the theory that overblown budgets and gargantuan names such as Cruise, Pacino and Jolie are necessary for a good film.

Cypher so good
Review of Cypher (DVD) by richb90

Advantages: Intelligent, surprising and unsual
Disadvantages: May lack lasting appeal

After seeing this film I've recommended it to several friends (off-line in the real world) as being an intelligent cross between James Bond and the Matrix. The movie starts with the unremarkable Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) being signed up as an industrial spy and assigned his undercover identity as Jack Thursby. His surprisingly easy job is to attend and record (by use of a transmitter pen) a series of extremely tedious business lectures across ...
...new alter ego away from his boring married life and even develops a taste for scotch and smoking. At this point you think it may just be a movie about a normal guy going through a mid-life crisis and living vicariously as Jack Thursby but the rabbit hole goes much deeper than this. Enter the mysterious and exciting Rita Foster (Lucy Liu) who piece by piece starts to uncover what's really going on behind the scenes and the reason for the onset of ... Read review

..., Charles Cyphers, Kyle Richards Running Time: 91 mins Classification: 18 The DVD is available from some online stores. The cheapest price I could find is £9.99 from www.dvd.co.uk, but I would recommend getting the 25th anniversary special 2 disc edition, which is £13.99 from www.dvd.co.uk . I think it is probably cheaper on the high street. I am only reviewing the film, so I can't comment on the extras.... Read review

Knock, Knock! The Matrix has you...
Review of The Matrix/Matrix Revisited (Box Set) (DVD) by  clownfoot

Advantages: Merges action and intelligence seemlessly. Visually stunning. Great sci-fi concept!
Disadvantages: None, Nada, Nicto. The best film ever made has no faults...

...'s a film that has simultaneously redefined its own medium. Film doesn't get any better than this! Overall - No negative points about the film? You bet your ass - there is simply nothing negative to say about the mind-blowing awesomeness of The Matrix. Say what you like about the sequels, nothing has matched The Matrix in its technical capacity, its artistry or its originality since. The final masterpiece of the twentieth century, just so happens to be the greatest film ever made as well. Move over George, the Star Wars universes' time is up? Pants Watch - For those that want to know, Joe Pantoliano (Joey Pants) features in the film as the ambiguous Cypher and, like all films Joey Pants decides to show his face in, he is awesome. What's On The DVD - The Matrix Revisited package is a two-disc edition of the movie, released for two... Read review

DVD Description

From the director of 1997 sci-fi thriller CUBE, comes this equally forward looking tale of double-agents and futuristic spy rings. Jeremy Northam plays Morgan Sullivan, a bored, put-upon suburban accountant who dreams of a more exciting career. He becomes a company spy for huge firm Digicorp, he must secretly record sensitive information at trade conventions, under an assumed identity. He meets the enigmatic Rita (Lucy Liu) who works for a rival company, and she convinces him he's been brainwashed by Digicorp and offers him the chance to be anti-brainwashed and work for Sunways, putting him in the difficult position of double-agent. Increasingly psychologically disturbed with divided loyalties, cracks begin to appear in Sullivan's fragile mind, and the real and the imaginary become dangerously blurred. His only saviour comes in Rita's boss, Rooks, but first he must perform one final deadly assignment.
