cypher be a movie well worth see because it not the run of the mill sci fi flick . the artistic approach be paint with dark scene and a kind of macro view of what go on . the close up camera view be how the director keep the plot illusive . the sci fi aspect of the movie be secondary to the plot of the movie . the technology use in the movie isn not overly impressive and however and the director make good use of the prop . the character development be intentionally shallow . the main character and jeremy northam and decides to immerse himself into the world of espionage . it up to the audience to figure out his enigmatic character and it the enigma that keep the audience interested right to the very end .
