Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Crispy Cream So many of you need to learn two very important things about IMDb.1. How to rate a movie.Some of you gave this movie 1 star. Are you people stupid? Echelon Conspiracy isn't too bad. I agree the actors aren't the best you'll ever see. I agree the production and direction could have been a lot better and I also agree that it's not the most original storyline too.Listen people.....what the heck do you want from a low budget movie. I think this movie is solid enough DESPITE those things. When watching it, I didn't get bored and I saw it through to quite an unexpected and enjoyable ending. It has a cool far fetched plot, a car chase and a beautiful woman who lucky boy Shane gets to see naked! There are a few movies out there that deserve 1 or 2 stars but this isn't one of them. Just because you don't like a film very much, it doesn't give you the right to attempt to drastically lower it's rating. You need to be objective and give a realistic mark. I have a great example for you all.....The Shawshank Redemption. Load up this movies ratings please. It obviously has a high rating. Now click on view all reviews then select 'HATED IT'.Look how many people have given it 1 star. Ridiculous, isn't it? Let's make IMDb a better site by giving correct ratings. I and many others use this site to find good movies to watch on a regular basis.2. If you disagree with the above....DON'T USE IMDb!!!!!!

SnoopyStyle Max Peterson (Shane West) is a world traveling tech security expert. He receives a mysterious phone anonymously which sends him helpful messages. It helps him avoid a plane crash, gives a stock tip and win at a casino. He encounters helpful driver Yuri Malanin in Prague. Casino security John Reed (Edward Burns) is suspicious. Kamila (Tamara Feldman) runs a scam on Max. Her partner knocks him out and they scan his phone. He wins a $3 million jackpot at the casino owned by Mueller (Jonathan Pryce) and is pursued by Reed. He is stopped and taken in by FBI Agent Dave Grant (Ving Rhames). Grant has been following untraceable texts to people who have sudden massive gains and then get killed mysteriously. Grant has been coordinating with NSA director Raymond Burke (Martin Sheen). The source turns out to be NSA central computer Echelon.First, Max is a prick. He is reckless and clueless. He is annoying as heck. I have no rooting interest in the character. He needs to be an everyman. Instead, he's an everydouche. It's kind of funny that even Reed calls him a douche. The movie should have great paranoid tension but this thing drags on and on. It should be him against the world but it takes forever for the first assassination attempt on Max himself. It should have started with NSA trying to kill him. This is basically as stupid as 'Eagle Eye' but without any of the fun. The WarGames ending isn't that good either because it feels derivative.

suparn gupta Imagine a movie where FBI chief doesn't know what is Authorize BIOS? I mean come on! And how do you build a software junk without getting it approved by the senate first? And how in the world you access street cameras in Moscow without getting help from Russian Govt. The movie is full of flaws including the climax where the lead actor starts talking to the computer!! I mean a moment ago, he cannot access the computer, next minute, he is doing a Skype call with it. He is shown as a Computer Security Guy, and doesn't even know how to connect a blue tooth wireless headset to his phone! In which century are you making this movie!! To all of those who contributed to the script-> Watch a couple of CIA movies like Bourne series, etc. You ll know how tech stuff works. And at least what kind of intellect you need to show in FBI agents!

secondtake Echelon Conspiracy (2009)Wow, this is an exercise in how to make a movie look good and not be good. It seems on the surface to have all these flashy elements, visual and plotwise (conspiracies, snipers, computers with minds of their own, you know the routine). But it's so crappy, to use a sophisticated word, it's painful. It's just badly directed. Yes, the script is lame, yes, the acting is lame. But the direction makes the least of even these elements. Why watch it? Why write a review? It's odd, really, that it can look so good and stumble so badly. If you watch the first minute, you'll be sucked in. If you watch five minutes, you'll see already how clumsy it is.Too bad. Some nice stuff in the wings here.
