I had lots of fun watching it. Gripping from the first minute. Love the combination of documentary and fiction and how characters mingle with real events. I get that some people are more into conventional films and can't enjoy films that are more out there, but personally, I wish more indie movies were like this one!!!

Very unique film
Your friend is dead
This is a story that centers on Ton Cruz, Meeks, and Paul Hunter who are low level hackers. It goes into conspiracy theories of corporation control through gathering information. Cruz is searching for the former police officer who shot his father when he was a child. He discovers that he is a high level hacker working with the Russians out of Florida manipulating votes for Trump in key Michigan districts on-line.
Many folks believe Trump stole the 2016 election by Russian hacking and changing votes. This docudrama shows it happening. The production is not well edited with a plot that is rather jerky in its motion. Not sure what the big picture was.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Waste of time
Do not bother and waste your time on this. Acting and storyline are the worst
