trawl through the sci fi weekly section of the local video rental store i be lose hope of find any good movie i hadn not yet see . rent cypher be like a punt on a possibly very lame horse . my son be so jaded with current b science fiction that he hasn not bother see this yet . it must be note i do not see anything about cypher when it be release in australia . it must have be very quiet or i just miss it . well this be a really pleasant surprise . this be also no b movie . it not a blockbuster of the epic variety and doesn not try to be more a quiet movie that need to be see several time for it plot to be fully savour . the special effect be powerfully present when they be use my only complaint be the super helo be a leetle obviously cgi at first view and but they get it right at it 2nd appearance and and that aside everything else be top notch . in any case the affect be secondary . i would not give anything away about the plot . the plot structure have a russian doll aspect a little reminiscent of basic instinct ( though with very different content ) . just i will say that choose jeremy northam for the lead be a master stroke . the actor be bear in cambridge england and and his accent for this film hit the ear a a sort of extremely force new england dialect and it a tad off key . see the final twist of the plot and you will see why that be such a brilliant choice . and lucy liu be also just right with her will she kiss me will she shoot me edge . i rarely watch movie several time within day this be one of them .
