Shane West (ER) play Max Peterson, a computer systems expert who specializes in creating firewalls that cannot be broken by any means. Max is given a special cell phone that cannot be traced and is not 'on the grid" and he begins receiving messages telling him what to do. In the course of the movie we learn that the messages are being sent by "Echelon", a secret NSA computer that is capable of tracking anyone and anything around the world. Echelon has an agenda and it will stop at nothing to achieve it's goal. This movie is much like "the Net" and many other movies that have that computer gone bad theme. However it is pretty good, has some good action scenes and the acting is slightly above average. The movie also stars: Edward Burns, Ving Rhames. Jonathan Pryce and Martin Sheen. If your not a die hard computer conspiracy fan I would rent this one instead of buying it.Read full review
The only thing this DVD is good for is to make a list of the actors and director who were part of this movie and never purchase another one with them in it or part of. The actors lines, their performance, characters they portrayed, their direction, was beyond terrible. I've heard of class "B" Westerns , this was a class "Z" Conspiracy.

This is a surprisingly good movie. I wasn’t expecting it to be even though Martin Sheen is in it. His character surprised me as did the very interesting ending. Very much worth watching. I’m very glad I added it to my Martin Sheen collection.

I love this movie, I love anything to do with computers and intrigue.. this movie reminds me of "The Net"... Shane really adapt well to the different characters he plays. I am yet to see a movie that I don't enjoy his acting. First saw it on Netflix and knew I had to add it to my DVD collection.
