Cypher

Directed by Vincenzo Natali

From the director of CUBE, CYPHER is a genre-blending corporate spy & conspiracy thriller with cool, sci-fi styling. With a nod to films like NORTH BY NORTHWEST and THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, it revels in a series of generic twists and turns. Morgan Sullivan (Northam) is a boring salaryman from the suburbs who spices up his life with a new job in low-level industrial espionage for a huge corporation. Soon he doesn’t know who he is or what he’s doing, with the only person he can trust a beautiful woman, Rita (Liu). But it becomes apparent that Morgan cannot trust anybody, least of all himself.
