The Last Detective : Cyber Wars Reviews
| 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful  Above average cyberpunk film, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cyber Wars (DVD) I loved this film.True, it isn't the most original thing around, but then, few cyberpunk films are. What I generally look for in a cyberpunk film is interesting characters and computer graphics, rather than an original plot. I already KNOW it's going to be about an evil mega-corporation or AI trying to take over the world, and a lone hacker or group of rebels trying to stop it. I already KNOW that the world I'm going to see onscreen will be over-crowded and dreary. It's not originality of plot I'm looking for, but interesting execution. "Cyber Wars" delivers on that. Genevieve O'Reilly is likeable and interesting in the lead part, and of course David Warner is always great. Some of the other actors are mediocre, at best, but I didn't mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the world the filmmaker created. The computer effects were above average, and at times very beautiful.

Dash gets money from her clients, hunting down those who have got fake IDs (called SIM), assisted through cyber space by her friend Julius (Kay Siu Lim). One day Dash is asked to find out the hiding place of a CEO who knows the top secrets about the SIM. She succeeds, but things get complicated...

The way Dash visually surfed through computer files. The interesting cybernetic adaptions. The idea of being able to tell your phone to turn off, and not allow incoming calls. That would be handy. I was amazed to see the entire budget was about $4 million. The effects in this movie are more than adequate if compared to some bigger-budget movies. |
