The Throwaways Trailers

Notorious hacker Drew Reynolds is captured by the CIA and given a proposition - work for them or spend the rest of his life in prison. Agreeing on the condition that he can form his own team, he puts together a group of "throwaways" - the people deemed expendable and seemingly the worst in the organization.

Reviews
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Michael Ledo This is a some what formula comedy-thriller. Drew (Sam Huntington) is a hacker whose arm is twisted by Colonel Holden (James Caan) of the CIA to come work for him. Someone has the Pantheon Key which can access 80% of the world's electronics from a laptop. Drew likes to work alone, he is a bad people person, but is forced to select a team. He uses an algorithm to assemble a team of 3 misfits.Fisher (Kevin Dillon) goes into rages and likes to do damage and kill.Dmitri (Christian Hillborg) is a former Russian KGB. He runs when things get tough.Gloria (Christian Hillborg) is an agent who uses "special weapons" to get what she wants.The film takes place in Sofia, Bulgaria. There is a constant flow of action or comedy. While the film is not over powering great, it is entertaining and I think is better than the 4.6/10 rating at IMDB.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Cat fight.
shinyhalo-1 This is your typical movie like "Fast and Furious" or XXX where the rebellious youths end up working for the government. It feeds the pathetic and immature desires to "fit in" and "be liked" by those more powerful than you. I'd love to see one of these types of movies go full out Rebellion for a change instead of groveling to the government for their table scraps. The pace of the movie is good and makes this an acceptable watch if you are sick one day and need a dozen movies you've never seen yet. The actors were skilled, especially the lead. The director is not responsible for the story-line either so he gets credit for making the movie a passable watch.
randymcbeast From start to finish this movie really delivered. I was blown away in fact at how much I enjoyed it. A surprise really given I didn't know too much about the movie going in.The cast, aside from James Caan and Kevin Dillon, are relatively unknown which actually made the movie even more interesting and fun given how well they all did. I'm a huge Dillon fan though from his Entourage days so he really stole the show for me, especially with his character reminding me of a character Johnny 'Drama' Chase might play. He was hilarious throughout.The movie overall moved along at a lightning pace and was packed with action, suspense, fun and laughs. One scene in particular blew me out of my chair it was so funny. I even watched it over again and laughed just as hard. Speaking of watching it over again, I may just watch this one over again from the start. It's just that kind of movie. A potential cult classic even.
Filmstv Andlife I really enjoyed this slapstick comedy. It is the mother of B grade action films and really makes fun of what has become of the Hollywood Action genre.The jokes are corny and satirize everything from the now obligatory hot chick fight and female assassin to the ridiculous Hollywood "foreigner" talks funny and is charming trope. The plot developments such as literally hot wiring a gas station to oh no the thumb drive has been dropped and is now unusable are absolutely hilarious. A healthy dose of the American, "lets blow sh?t up routine" is thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this picture and whilst it wasn't A grade cinema it was terribly good at a B grade takedown of Hollywood Action stereotypes.Oh and to Marcus_Rehnberg I am certainly not on any *payroll* eithercheck out other reviews and things that may interest you on my *unpaid* site filmstvandlife.wordpress.com C U There!!!!!!
