Saw this on Netflix; it was presented as a 90 minute movie, though it seems to be a television series originally.
Chloe works for the FBI in counter-cyber-crime. Cool. Gustav, an old enemy, sets her up as the one who spreads a virus.
Chloe breaks out of detention, and springs Rabbit (hacker whom she had caught before) from jail. She enlists her former partner, Frank. Gustav hates Chloe for posing as his daughter to get him in jail.
As the movie proceeds, the stakes for Chloe keep getting higher in terms of possible long-term losses. First her reputation, then her liberty, then her mother's life, and finally something worse: all could be lost, unless victory is snatched from the jaws of defeat.
Will Chloe and her unlikely friends come through for the good of the world? Are they able to defeat the mastermind Gustav?
-----Scores-----
Cinematography: 4/10 The camera/CGI mix worked well for a while, but toward the end, shaky cam plus poor and ancient graphics (UNIX command shell screens???) were a huge let down.
Sound: 5/10 The music over the final credits was good.
Acting: 2/10 The less said, the better.
Screenplay: 4/10 A story does get told, but the linkage between plot points breaks all too often. A thriller needs to sell the idea that the stakes are high and the protagonists might be up to the tasks at hand. This was not accomplished.
