Review: The Hummingbird Project moves like the titular bird, stings like a bee GlobeArts
The Orchard
Nguyen, in contrast, has a taste for the downbeat, often with a sprinkling of magical realism, as in his Oscar-nominated child soldier dramaAnd so you will get no Scorsesian tracking shots of firecracker trading floors, no giddy frat boy Champagne-shaking antics; this is a slow-boil thriller coursing with melancholy.
Eisenberg dials back his familiar motor-mouth, playing Vincent as a striver with a protective streak whose blue-collar immigrant roots both nurture and haunt his every move. It is he who convinces his cousin, Anton to leave the confines of an investment firm headed by Eva Torres , a rapacious trader who doesn’t take kindly to disloyalty.
As Anton holes himself up in a Midwestern hotel working on the code that will run their trading transactions, Vincent follows his construction crews and their hulking machines up muddy hills and down verdant valleys , their heavy industry contrasting with the weightlessness of the digital processes that will actually power the bits and bytes.
All of this must take place within 16 milliseconds – the single flap of a hummingbird’s wing – in order to beat, by one millisecond, the other available systems. The margins may be tiny, but executing hundreds of thousands of transactions each day could reap billions in a year.In fact, money may be driving the drama, but time is’s real obsession.
