This inexplicably-popular Dutch cyber-thriller follows eco-warrior/ethical hacker Mel, who uncovers unexpected malware during a routine software check that leads to a global conspiracy and finds herself out of her depth and on the run with an unexpected ally in the form of a former failed date. The film feels somewhat quaintly old-fashioned and has a decidedly mixed tone that veers from taking a children's-TV-level approach to its topic that rings somewhat simplistically to adults (even servers make bleepy generic sci-fi noises), yet it also has moments of unforgiving on-screen violence. Unconvincingly linking a global threat to - er - Rotterdam's first self-driving bus system, this gloomy and underpowered TV-style drama is a rather vapid and unengaging affair overall.
