Wissenswertes
Douglas Hall's house has been seen before in several other science fiction films: as the exterior Detective Deckard's apartment building in Ridley Scott's Der Blade Runner (1982), and several years later as the apartment of a drug lord in Predator 2 (1990). Located in the affluent Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, the home is known as the Ennis-Brown House and was designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Patzer
When Douglas asks Grierson (Hanlon Fuller) about having flashbacks, Grierson references being in World War I. Since the program is set in the 1930s, prior to the second World War, Grierson wouldn't refer to the previous war as World War I. Before World War II, World War I had other names, most famously "The Great War." While it is a computer program, and knowledge doesn't necessarily operate the same way as in the "real world," there's no logical reason for characters to be programmed with that term, and Hanlon, as the designer, would know the proper terminology for the time since he actually lived during the 1930s.

Zitate
Hannon Fuller: [First lines] Ignorance is bliss. For the first time in my life, I agree.

Crazy Credits
Before the opening credits, this René Descartes quote is seen on screen: "I think, therefore I am".

I think therefore I am... A film that questions the believe that self choice means you are flesh and blood.

A small simulation set in 1937 has been created. Our main character discovers that his recently murdered partner (the simulators creator) has been using the simulation before its release for human trial. He also discovers that a message has been left in the system for him to find. A message that promises to ultimately change everything.

I recommend this film to all those who enjoyed eXistenZ etc. Fans of David Lynch will not be disappointed either. If you are a great fan of Lynch, then you will see this as an easy to follow film that has some nice turns and twists without forcing you to pause and rewind or watch again.

The film manages to persuade you of the complex simulated world without spending too much of its budget on special effects, unlike the matrix, which ultimately destroyed itself by its overdone sequels. Great set of actors here too. Ones that deserve the job title "actor" and have many creditations to their name.

I am surprised that this little effort hasn't been more popular since it manages to get a complex story line and make it very easy to follow without becoming bogged down with the characters explaining each scene (ergo the matrix).

Overall, definitely one to watch and one to own.
