Decrypted

Very interesting and engaging take on the world of cryptocurrencies. Great for everyone following this rapidly growing market. Although clearly through a comical lense, it gives an exciting point of view.

I can see what they were trying to achieve with this movie, and there are traces of talent in the writing, albeit sparse. However its just not been done well enough and falls more than a little short in execution.

The script needs an extensive rewrite, the production a competent director, and the cast or at least some of the major roles... recasting.

There are zero laugh out loud moments and even though you hope there are going to be at least some humorous ones, they never materialize and instead your left with an expectant grimace on your face as you painfully watch the screenplay unfold.

Unfortunately (it gets worse) there isn't even much of a underlying story here, so there isn't even an entertainment factor on the basic level.

OK watch at your own risk, but there is nothing to see here.

Do yourself a favor and give it a miss.

The trailer for this movie is a bit misleading. The film is definitely a riot, I laughed out loud at least a dozen times. But the theme of honesty is really powerful. There are some scenes that really stuck with me, like when George and Martin are discussing immigration or the Sofia character is talking about her gender. They really hit me in the gut - I wasn't expecting that. What also amazed me was how much I felt for characters that I initially thought were really hateful individuals (thinking of Buck or George here). A very original screenplay and wonderfully directed with a perfect cast. The Bitcoin angle did not interest me as much as it would some other people - hence 8/10 instead of 10/10.

Sophomorish attempt at a pretty good cinematic idea - demonstrating non politically correct views on various topics of interests.

Dialogue pushes pass socially acceptable opinions and shows the psychological truth behind why some people choose to do what they do.

Decrypted is a riot. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying it's an NSA mission to take down bitcoin that goes horribly wrong. That's in the synopsis all over the place. But it's so much more than that. You've got all these kind of twisted characters who are forced to come clean about their prejudices and discuss them. Exactly what isn't happening in the world right now. But it's no done in any kind of preachy way. It's constantly entertaining and really funny. I laughed out loud seven or eight times. And I was in a bad mood when I sat down to watch it. Brilliant stuff.
