This is a lacklustre tech thriller running on dated software.
Funny how movies sometimes insert lines to mock themselves in an accidental manner.
This show wants to be a snazzy, brainy tech-cool conspiracy thriller about hackers and viral attackers, spouting urgent terms like “firewall”, “backdoor”, “Tor” and “Dark Web”. But it’s actually just a plain old, mundane deal about bad people stealing good people's money. His requisite backstory is that he used to be imprisoned for selling viruses he created like a twisted salesman. Seriously, why are these brainiacs always reformed convicts? But now the fella has a young daughter he totally adores who has a medical condition. Which means he’ll do anything under severe duress when she’s kidnapped and put in danger.
Their quarry, as you might expect when Kwok puts on thinking-man spectacles and acts geeky-jumpy-unhunky clutching his laptop as a constant companion, is no pushover in outsmarting and outrunning them. In direct contrast to this tale which, as it goes on, makes you realise that, despite its intentions about a murky web jungle, is basically quite straightforward.
