Determined to make the most of his new job at Wyatt Telecom, Adam Cassidy is horrified after a felonious mistake earns him the wrath of unforgiving CEO Nicholas Wyatt. Typically, Wyatt's first response would be to throw a law-breaking employee under the bus. But this time Wyatt is willing to cut a deal; should Adam agree to infiltrate Wyatt Telecom's chief rival, the CEO will turn a blind eye to his employee's error. In no time Adam is climbing the corporate food chain straight to the top. Upon realizing that his success is a mere illusion and that he's become a simple pawn in a much bigger game, Adam hatches an ingenious plan to get out of the game before it's too late.

It starts off quite well, seeming like it could turn out to be a pretty interesting thriller. The beginning has a bit of a Social Network vibe to it, but it shifts more towards a mild mafia film, influenced mainly by the practices depicted. However, unfortunately in the end, it's just a fairly ordinary film with a happy ending about how one young guy manages to overcome an entire corporation. America has a bright future.

Oh God, what a drivel. Pretty boy Liam Hemsworth, the youngest of the Hemsworth trio, is trying to look cool in a techno-thriller rougher than the coarsest sandpaper. He walks around for maybe half a movie without his T-shirt, just to show his pecks, sixpack, and shoulders. While doing that, he’s acting cool and pretends to be an IT specialist, who is trying to hack a company the size of Microsoft. But the hacking is done in a confusing way; I walk over here, tap my phone 2 times to show that I am actually doing something on it and just like that the doors I need to go through open. After that he sits behind a computer, where only a few swift double-clicks on the monitor cause many applications to open and close just so it would seem truly effective. It’s a shame that he didn’t show his pecs and sixpack during that moment, too, ‘cause at that point, it would be a Boo!

A film I was looking forward to and was severely disappointed by. The main character reminded me of Zoolander, as his only expression throughout the movie was the Magnum look 1-6. The dialogue between friends and sexual partners was clichéd, and the whole plot was lacking tension, as it was inevitably heading towards the only possible conclusion. It was all topped off by a heartfelt romantic ending in which the hero's love forgives her darling for betraying her every step of the way. The only thing missing was a wedding. I’m giving one star to Han Solo's "hairstyle".
