High style and noirish overtones about mind control and brainwashing in corporate America. Nothing new there, so nothing new here.

An under-the-radar sci-fi action thriller...

Just like the spies' mission as they hunt for secrets and significance inside massive corporate databanks, [Cypher's] point is unclear.

...it declines into high-tech gizmos, whizbang hardware, and hairbreadth escapes, leaving the brain behind for the sake of sheer, overinflated thrills.

It might be just another "DTV dump" title for Miramax, but I'd call Cypher (easily) one of the best direct-to-video titles I've seen all year.

Northam is perfectly cast — with every swill of scotch he transforms from shy and retiring to the debonair sophisticate he has always wanted to be.

Natali has crafted a clever, futuristic mind-bender that's both beautiful to look at...and cerebrally challenging with its questions about reality and identity. Not bad for a film made for the cost of The Matrix's opening credits.
