Admirable film.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie revolves around perhaps the greatest problem in computer science P vs. NP. Most things we rely on in the world, assume that P is not equal to NP -- that creating a code is way easier than cracking it, that figuring out whether a cure for cancer is effective is way easier than finding the cure in the first place. Traveling Salesman doesn't analyze the problem. Instead, it asks, what if P == NP? In other words, what if codes are just as easy to crack as they are to create? What if finding a cure for cancer is just as easy as showing a cure you've found works. Most scientists today don't believe this is true, but it has not yet been proved, which makes for an interesting, what if it's true discussion.The dialog is good, exploring the ramifications of a P == NP world. Somehow, it left me wanting more.

What a surprise. An actual intelligent movie. Lately it seems the bigger the movie's budget, the lesser the quality. CGI, and FX have pretty much taken over the sci fi movie biz. Every now and then, a "good" movie comes along. And this is one of them. I had it book marked on Amazon for months, but it just didn't sound interesting. Then late last night, I turned it on. It took me a while to get the feel of it. And I was hooked. I won't go into all the technical stuff; others have done that here.Some of the best dialogue ever. Smartly written and superbly acted. If you're looking for action, adventure, and excitement, move along. On the other hand, if you enjoyed films like Primer, Moon, Astronaut ((the last push) Give it a watch.

I believe it is a travesty that this film has such a low score on here. The only thing I can attribute it to is that today's viewers have an attention span of a raccoon trapped in a treasure chest. I suppose the fact that I am a very big fan of this type of film--and what I mean by that is chock full intelligent dialog--may also have something to do with that. There are two other films that have always been in my top 10 favorite films list because of this attribute and they are 12 Angry Men, and The Man From Earth (not to be confused with the man who fell to earth.) Basically a few people trapped in a room for most of the movie discussing a monumental mathematical proof that has huge implications for just about everything and everyone on the planet, and the moral responsibility they have as they are in cahoots with the government through funding. If you have an attention span, love existential and philosophical discussions, or just enjoy movies that make you think then you will love this film as I did. Please help this film get the rating it deserves.

Let me start by saying I don't rate very many movies in the 8 9 or 10s but this one is a solid 9! I'm as harsh and hard a critic as they come but this movie was so well done it is hard not to like it. The movie has a solid dialog that drives the movie forward like a raging bull with great simplistic camera shots and settings. You can count the settings on 1 hand and they are well done and fit the tone of the dialog superbly. This movie is no doubt a low budget master piece and as a script writer think it is an amazing piece for younger writers to learn from. You don't need huge budgets to produce incredible work! It is a striking movie in the sense of Primer and I commend both writers for this excellent work. I back the AMC notion that story matters and they have produced a great one! You will love this movie! The only reason I did not give this movie a 10/10 is that I had to look up what P = NP is. If you are reading to deiced what if you are going to view the movie, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified by a computer can also be quickly solved by a computer. Enjoy this film!
