The Vector File

This is not a bad movie. It has some interesting ideas, like the role of technology and organized crime in future terrorism. Being a New Zealand/German effort, it did not have the big budget of Hollyweed, but it has some pretty good acting and it moves along well. It has some inexcusable plot holes, but so do 80% of the Hollyweed efforts I see. The direction wavers between "personal relationships" and "good folks in peril" scenes, with the latter getting more attention. It could have been a lot better with about 20 more minutes to flesh out the plot and develop the characters and their relationships. It has the overall feel of a pretty good idea that ran out of money. Hollyw$$d, it ain't easy to compete with, but at least some competent folks are trying!

The acting in his movie was shocking. I've seen many movies and television shows produced, directed, funded and acted by New Zelanders and hey have been great.

This movie however was un-watchable.

It is pity too as some of the location shots were beautiful.

I was not aware of who Casper or Catherine were until i came onto IMDb to look them up to see who this ( Casper ) shocking actor was.

Catherines acting in this film completely shined compared to Casper.

Big budgets are not required to have actors with ability to act without appearing as though they are acting.

Hubby & I enjoyed the movie. Production values were ok. I liked the interaction of the family, and given they really ARE a family that makes sense, lol. I enjoyed the outdoor scenes (we loved NZ when we visited years ago) also and the ingenuity of the daughter. As stated in the review title, it was somewhat predictable - but as a writer myself I am usually able to 'figure out' plot structure and twists. Watched it on YouTube where it was called 'A Detective'. I found the real name by looking up the writer. It's too bad there is a minimum character count in order to leave a review - that means I have to fill with fluff in order to get my review posted.

Not really sure why their is such low ratings because I really enjoyed it. I watched it on youtube not expecting much but I really enjoyed seeing the family act together. They did a great job and their daughter was precious and did a great job acting with her dad and mother. It had action and mystery. It's not a blockbuster but it did its job of keeping me entertained. It doesn't last very long but it's a good popcorn just chill movie to watch. They did such a sweet job acting together that I want to Google to see if they have anymore together. It's nice to see a movie that doesn't have half naked people and constant cursing in it for once.

This film must have been artificially 'pumped up'. A couple of people, probably with a stake in the movie, have been giving high notes. Which is totally undeserved. This film brings you nothing new. You've seen all the elements a hunderd times before. Yet some film makers succeed in creating a good movie anyway, but this film maker doesn't. The acting is poor, everything is poor and predictable. Spend your time on something else.
