i think the card be stack against webmaster and because right from the start there be this itchy feeling and like something be wrong but i couldn not quite put my finger on it . then it hit me . dub . for a little while and they manage most of the line either a voice over or off screen and with just a little hint here and there and until it become painfully obvious . this be the kind of dub that grate on the nerve and with nothing even remotely funny about it . i hate dub and but at least and however misplace and martial art film badly dub tend to have a sense of humour about it . what i want be a film about a hacker do actual hacking and stuff like that . maybe like a reverse side of the table of the movie hacker ( be about the person try to keep them out instead about the people try to get in ) . what i get be some poorly write and nonsensical at time murder mystery with a ton of bad chase sequence and a supposedly inept hacker who be neuter without his little ego and and a director who obviously do not know how to handle a camera . i just want to reach in there and grab the camera from the guy and and shoot the dang thing myself . the edit wasn not much well . the acting . well and i guess if the lead guy do not have such a bad script to work from and he would be at least watchable . the main bad guy be ok and too and but pretty much everyone else be a joke . dub do not help and but the acting be pretty bad even take that into consideration . before i get into more bad and let perk up to a few good thing . well and one or two . despite the rudimentary graphic and i rather enjoy the cyberworld stuff and what little there be of it and and would have much rather watch a movie mostly about and in and and around that than the tepid surroundings outside in the real world . the falsifying thumbprint thing seem kind of cool and but end up be rather useless in the scheme of thing . the heart gadget and which remind me of guillermo del toro cronos and be interest and though a a plot device rip directly from the page of escape from new york and it be horribly conceive in the long run . there one point where the bad guy be unconscious and our hero be right there . why do not he try the bad guy thumb print then ( since the heart device be thumb activate ) . nonetheless and some interesting gadget and cyber stuff and if only they could have be utilized well . now and who here dare compare this movie to blade runner . both film take place sometime in the future and there some kind of off kilter type of romance in it and sort of and in both film . there the investigation of a murder and but i have see many a film with a murder at it center that be nothing like either blade runner or webmaster . identity and for instance . that about where the similarity end . period . there be no comparison and just a there wouldn not be between blade runner and hacker . ridley scott be a brilliant director with a great mind for art direction and know some fundamental of film making and like where to put the camera . webmaster be cheap and and not just because of the budget . it cheap because of bad writing and and because it more often than not take the easy way out ( like write in a character who barely appear in the first place to save the girl in the end to get her to point b by herself without the hero and so that he could do his thing . very convenient . or and the attempted sympathy factor for a character we have no reason to care for . or and inane thing like the car set up to stall them just enough for someone to get away . ) . it try to be hip and it try to be exploitive and it even try a twist end that not the least bit surprising and and it try to be thrill . but a bunch of near identical chase sequence and bad writing and editing and horribly shot and bad acting and etc . do not a thrilling movie make .
