Review of Crypto

Crypto (I) (2019)
7/10
Decent, suspenseful thriller about moneylaundering with a small, but meaningful supporting role by Kurt Russell
25 December 2020
Despite the unknown leading characters this is quite a decent thriller,with good acting and a constant eerie suspense, which is quite mesmerizing. Definitely better than the Imdb rating would suggest.

The story is simple. A young employee working for a big corporation discovers a money laundering scheme. Now unknown criminal forces are out to get him. Will he survive?

Although Kurt Russell only plays quite a small supporting role, his role stands out and his role is quite meaningful to the story. Acting in general, despite a lot of unknown actors, is quite good to my pleasant surprise.

Recommended for the fans of smart and eerie thrillers, who dont want to see flashy action scenes, but who value suspense and a dark, ominous mood above all else.

Any bad? It is a slow burning thriller. Nothing much happens at the start. Character development is more important than shocking action scenes. For those who dont like that, this probably will not be your cup of tea...
