Computers have blessed society in many ways, from communication to accessibility of information. But as far advanced as the technology has gotten, they are still dangerous machines. Every minute of every day, people trust that the content they keep on their computer is safe and for their eyes only, but viruses, hackers and network infiltrators find their way in every day. Anyone with awareness of this fact is likely at least a little paranoid, and it.s that terror that writer/director Alex Stockman uses as fuel for his thriller Pulsar. Set in Brussels, Belgium, Sam (Matthias Schoenaerts) watches as his long time girlfriend, Mireille (Tine Van den Wyngaert), move to New York to pursue a job at an architecture firm. He misses her dearly and is they keep in touch using webcam chats, but a problem arises when Sam discovers that someone has found access into his wireless network.
