Sync

Well worth checking out. Acting, story, pace and special effects are great, especially given that this is an indie movie with unknown actors and available free to watch on YouTube! I started watching this based on a recommendation from a friend and was instantly hooked. It is apparently based on a web series that was subsequently converted into a film. I never saw the series, but it works brilliantly as a single film. The makers/directors appear to do special effects for a lot of bigger films, and clearly decided to start producing some stuff themselves.

What are you waiting for?

Rarely has such a good film been made with such a small budget. Don't panic during the first 15 minutes where it seems like this is going to be just another mindless action "avenging secret agent" with a sci-fi twist movie. Over the next 90 minutes, the plot and characters rapidly evolve into something much more.

What makes this evolution and its intriguing ending work is a combination of excellent writing, very good actors and a skillful director -- all working with an obviously dedicated crew. No one is just phoning it in here.

The light sprinkling of special effects also works well within the context of the story. But don't get the idea that this movie is all cerebral... the concepts that come along are exciting -- and it's got plenty of action and moves right along without going over the top into the usual silly excesses.

I haven't enjoyed an independent film so much in a long time.

I didn't find this as the episodes were being released, so I got to watch it all in one shot as the finished movie. I also very much prefer indie productions to big commercial titles.

That said, "Sync" is incredible. With an original take on the premise and storyline, it features superb acting and amazing effects. The script perfectly balances action, humor, romance, and character development. In fact, it's the character development over the course of the movie that stands out to my mind.

A couple of people have commented on the ending. I will say only that I thought it was excellent and a fitting way to end this particular story.

Bravo to all involved!

This series is a culmination of all of Sam and Niko's skills combined. They cast well, shots were perfect, audio was natural and non-jarring and the storyline was unpredictable and original.

This series follows our protagonist to mob bosses houses, geek lairs, secret government headquarters and even across the ocean to China. The story takes twists and turns that, while not too incredible, keep the audience guessing at every point. At the end of each episode it's a frantic scramble to put the next one on due to the suspense they've left you in.

Sync surely satisfies the audiences desires for an action show with great comedy bits, a touch of romance and a whole lot of fun.

A great movie for a low budget. It doesn't follow the traditional paths that most Sci-Fi movies or action movies follow. Romance isn't the center of the movie, which in my book is a bonus. Recommended for anyone looking for an hour and a half to kill, because this is probably the best low budget film I have yet to come across.
