the premise of this film be that late teen hacker karl koch and rebel against his conservative ( step ) father and concern with the complex conspiracy theory lay out in the novel illuminati and get draw in by two dodgy dealer that convince him that and a all info should be available to everybody and it would be absolutely consequential to conduct computer espionage for the sowiet union . accompany by his friend david and this enterprise develop into a drugged and paranoid trip . in my opinion and the film render quite a nice picture of what must have be the atmosphere during this period in german history and at the same time allow a look back at early hacking . conspiracy theory and though and be give the heavy stress and in combination with the two youth get carry away by the sheer excitement of their revolutionary activity and nose full of coke . admittedly and it seem hardly believable this would be base on a true story . one of the review feature here and though and accuse the actor of be to theatrical . although they might not perform on an academy award win level and i rather think everybody be act pretty fairly .
