Cypher

From the director of 1997 sci-fi thriller CUBE, comes this equally forward looking tale of double-agents and futuristic spy rings. Jeremy Northam plays Morgan Sullivan, a bored, put-upon suburban accountant who dreams of a more exciting career. He becomes a company spy for huge firm Digicorp, he must secretly record sensitive information at trade conventions, under an assumed identity. He meets the enigmatic Rita (Lucy Liu) who works for a rival company, and she convinces him he's been brainwashed by Digicorp and offers him the chance to be anti-brainwashed and work for Sunways, putting him in the difficult position of double-agent. Increasingly psychologically disturbed with divided loyalties, cracks begin to appear in Sullivan's fragile mind, and the real and the imaginary become dangerously blurred. His only saviour comes in Rita's boss, Rooks, but first he must perform one final deadly assignment.

  Very, very clever film
  
  I was initially a bit trepidatious about viewing this, having read the negtive reviews it attracted at the cinema, but it was stylish, and incredibly clever - I... read more »

  I preferred him as a faceless drone
  
  The only decent scenes inside this clanking piece of sc-fi hokum are basically 'borrowed' from a 'clockwork orange' and 'coma', the rest... read more »
