The Code Conspiracy

The Computer age has arrived. There are complex discoveries unveiled daily. Hence this recent film supporting theories of all sides. "The Code Conspiracy" is the hardest kind of movie to review-but it's also the most enjoyable kind of movie to watch...due to the depth of it's conclusions. It's been months since I've viewed this film, yet it stays with me. Before writing my slant, I wanted to let its theories, content, and characters sink into my head. The film was based on an idea of ultimate knowledge. I could spend pages discussing the techniques of Whetston's intentions and decisions, but I will not. Jim Fitzpatrick and Maria Conchita Alonso are two of the greatest actors American cinema has to offer; it's pure pleasure watching their characters clash, meld and roll. The sexual tension was more than sufficient for the story to play out.

Anybody with a half of a brain can see what the writer/director Whetstone was creating when he made this movie. It is testament to his beliefs in GOD, and in the human spirit and it's ability to find it's way home (Heaven). When all is said and done, when our time here on earth comes to an end, where will you go? I BELIEVE, without hesitation, that I will enter the kingdom of heaven, and be with my Lord and Saviour for ALL eternity. For the life of me, I don't understand why so people want to have a movie do more than it sets out to do. I loved the basic style of film-making here. The actors were fantastic, I love Maria Conchita, and the scenery was breathtaking. I pulled-up the location on the internet and wow, Hopetown, is a beautiful place. I want to go to the lighthouse someday where Maria and the male lead (James Fitzpatrick) went to send their message, to the rest of the world. GOD bless you for continuing to support the rest of us Christians, with good, wholesome films.

You have to at first understand and contemplate all various positions on our existence as we know it. Henry Whetstone, undoubtedly has his own theories, which I could embrace, if the storyline was just a little bit more clear. The acting was unusually good, the lead actor (James Fitzpatrick) has a very charismatic appeal. And the supporting cast was equally good.

The philosophy of the piece, is deep, mesmerizing, thought-provoking. Philosophically engaging, I loved it. Only those with deep insight and intellect will truly be able to appreciate the magnitude of this work. Those film goers interested in magnanimous action and gratuitous sex need not bother. The Code Conspiracy is a revelation of a sort.

I cannot believe that there are people out in the world that refuse to accept foresight and sci-fi concepts such as these. I am currently enrolled at Cambridge, and I was absolutely enthralled with the possibilities of this prose. How can you not hope to reach a higher level of understanding and meaning. As a Bio-Physics major, I am continually searching for answers without questions first. Ideas that have spawned a thought process of imagination. I believe as do another critic which I read earlier, that ALL things are possible, if you can think it. Otherwise, how did you come up with the concept. I firmly believe, that God gives us the dreams and imagination we have, because we can achieve it. As far as the film was concerned, I watched it several times. I recognized several British actors, as well as, the American James Fitzpatrick. I saw him another British Film, called U.S. Seals. A fine actor he is. If you are going to dream...dream imaginatively...not rehashed.

The film begins as we follow a Jewish man- we soon find out has claimed to have found mathematical evidence for the existence of God in the Torah- who is being pursued by armed Assassins. Cornered, he manages to hide a Disc and leave a message for the person he is trying to get it to, before being killed.

Our protagonist is John Davis (Jim Fitzpatrick), a wealthy computer programmer who, with his team, is trying to perfect "keyless encryption"- with hopes that it will bring "privacy" to the internet, so that people can communicate without governments, corporations and intelligence agencies knowing what we are discussing.

Turns out that the code(s) worked on by the assassinated man and his crew provides more than just mathematical evidence for the existence of God, but is also used by the Israeli government to predict future world events.

After being questioned by the police about the man's death, John finds the message that was left for him, leading him to the hidden disc. When he retrieves it, he finds out that the man was trying to reach him because the code had output his name in one of it's predictions.

Meanwhile, he is approached by a seductive woman named Rachel, who represents Microtel- a wealthy firm that purchases computer software from smaller programming companies, and is interested in investing in the work that John's company Encryptech is doing on keyless encryption. While the group of men have yet to be able to come up with code that can achieve this, they are in luck when one of the codes John discovers on the mysterious disc- the Israeli governments Torah code, from God- does exactly what they need; all they have to do is incorporate it into their code.

John brings their work (now injected with the Torah code) to the woman, who is impressed by what she sees, immediately offering them $9o million dollars for rights over the patent. But while finalizing the details of the deal with his lawyers, John and his crew get a call- their office has been raided by the DHS/NSA due to concerns of "National Security", and everything- including all their work- has been seized and confiscated.

John soon finds out that not only has his business been shut down and seized, but a hold has been placed on his bank accounts and credit cards. Luckily, though, he has stashed quite a large bag of cash that can help him get by. As he goes on the lamb, we watch as the DHS/NSA and Mossad are following his every move. Suspicious and paranoid, John pretends to flee the country on a private jet, but really doesn't board it- lucky for him, as someone shoots it out of the sky with a Stinger Missile, killing all 6 people on board.

Now a fugitive, John heads off to hide out with some old friends- the rich, influential, gun totin' anti government type. When they realize the government is closing in on them, John takes off and goes on the run. He eventually realizes that he is being tracked by a bug in his cellphone, so he hides it in an old couple's motorhome to throw them off the scent- after which he hops on his yacht to get the hell outta' dodge.

Despite thinking he has escaped, Mossad and the DHS/NSA are still able to track John down, with plans to kill him and steal back the disc. Will John be able to escape and prevent the evil military industrial complex from obtaining the code that can predict the future before it's too late? Was it really fate when his name popped up in one of the predictions? The film's conclusion is rushed and cheesy to say the least.

While by no means a masterpiece, this is one of those films that is more about the idea and storyline than it is about it's actual execution. It watches like a cheesy made-for-TV movie, but the acting isn't so bad. Life is like a badly acted movie, right? It's pretty entertaining anyways, and is definitely worth a watch as many of the concepts touched upon in the film are particularly relevant to current events and issues of political importance such as digital privacy, network neutrality, crackdowns on cyber activists, cyber espionage and the role they play in geopolitical events. (who doesn't want a code that predicts the future right?!?!) When it comes down to it, the film also has a decent message in that cyber technologies should be used to perpetuate good instead of evil...i think we can all agree with that...well most of us I hope! (call me idealistic...) 6 out of 10.
