The central character, Will Radford, played with intensity, finds himself in a whirlwind of conspiracy that aims to keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at times, the film's pacing drags, and the plot becomes convoluted. While there are moments of genuine suspense, they are often overshadowed by drawn-out scenes that could have benefited from tighter editing. The film poses interesting questions about privacy and government control, but it doesn’t fully deliver on its promise. It’s a decent watch if you’re into cyber-thrillers, but don’t expect a flawless execution. Show less
