Crypto

Crypto Shadows is a multiple award-winning collaboration between Amy Kay DuBoff and James Fox, who themselves are acclaimed award-winners in writing and other artistic fields. It is a superb techno-thriller starring Mikayla Iverson, who is the only actor whose face appears on screen. She more than holds her own as she is stalked and eventually hunted by an unnamed clandestine agency, after she stumbles into a mind numbing secret in the course of her work.

Miss Iverson's character, Cara Hammond, is forced to try to determine who is after her, and why, as her computer defenses, personal identity, and ultimately, her very life are attacked at her remote location.

Crypto Shadows is a fast-paced, suspense-filled film showcasing beautiful scenery and outstanding acting and writing, and the viewer does not need to be technically savvy to appreciate and enjoy it.

Anyone giving this a high rating is lying! Do NOT believe them and waste your time like I did! ZERO chance this is s 7 movie!

Basically a 1 person cast. Lame plot, lame 'action', ridiculous ending.

There was nothing in this movie that made any sense. Worst portrayal of some super hacker/high skill computer person ever. She's so smart but keeps getting 'hacked'. She's being chased, but no one ever tries to really get her. She's what, rich to afford her set-up on acres and acres including and underground bunker? No backstory whatsoever.

The main character is all over the place with her emotions, acting, work practices, everything. It's bad!

I've already told you how bad it is but I have to meet this 500 word requirement! Why does this exist?!? If you can't say what you think succinctly it's not worth saying it.

Anyway, you been warned.

Frankly, I lost interest after 45 minutes of a girl talking meaninglessly to herself, and no less than about 2 million sighs. I think Cara deserves to become the first sigh-master!

I'd give this film no more than 2 stars, with an interesting title but a boring plot that seems to have no direction, other than chopping wood, sitting on rocks, and scrolling through meaningless code on computer screens. A character can only talk to herself for a finite amount of time before it becomes a distraction.

The most puzzling aspect of this film is how it earned a 5.8 IMDB rating. I watched with a friend who expressed similar comments.

Some of the reviewers out there were a little harsh in their critique - It was just a one actor movie, or it had too much sighing, or it was boring, etc..

For a small budget production, and minimal special effects, it was actually pretty decent, and it kept my attention all the way to the end. Mikayla Iverson did a good job as a stressed out computer game developer who inadvertently stumbles onto some code she was not supposed to see, and finds herself on the run from people who want to shut her down.

I generally rate a movie by how well it can to hold my attention, and this one kept me glued to my screen all the way through!

My only regret is that it I wish it lasted a little longer, to give it a more complete ending.

A good, watchable movie, and I recommend it.

With the subject of my review you might be even more confused, I know that with a title like "crypto..." I expect the movie to be 100% technology based, and it is but put in a way that even if you are not a geek you will be pulled into the story and the drama. If you are tech savvy, you'll enjoy it deeply, albeit some little flukes that I'm sure are put there to make it more amicable to the not really techy.

The plot is very engaging and even that there is only one face in the whole movie, the actress carries the weight very well.

If you get thru the movie once, you'll enjoy it even more the second timer around.

For those that are followers off the authors, everything falls in place at the right moment.

100% recommended if you are into thrillers and drama, but if you are also into sci-fi, this is a must watch.
