As perfunctory straight-to-video Luxembourg tax shelter projects go... surely some are better than this?

Muddled hacker-ish "thriller" leavened by Rutger's wardrobe of bow tie + leather jacket and Tara Fitzgerald's "American" accent. And an appearance by Michelle Gomez (Sue White from Green Wing).
