Information is powerful, and the Internet is a killer
2005, USA, Colour, 91 minutes
Written and directed by Jimmy "lolz" Kant
Starring P. K. French, Veere Illyonich
Generally when a filmmaker attempts to incorporate the internet or computers into a project bad things happen. Think The Net and You've Got M@il. With so much to live up to Surviving could have been incredibly bad, like with lame graphical representations of people typing stuff into search engines. Happily a glorious ensemble of physical humour and ultraviolence quickly ensures that the focus of the film is events, not technology. Plus there are all kinds of deliciously loaded lines which will leave the audience groaning with delight. When hero Jack single handily uses his mad hacking skills to remove the pants of his nemesis while said nemesis is at an important business meeting you can't help but cheer at the screen.
