Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Jerry Shaw is an amiable slacker with an over-achieving twin brother. After his twin dies in an accident, strange things happen to Jerry at a dizzying pace: a fortune shows up in his bank account, weapons are delivered to his flat, and a voice on his cell phone tells him the police are on their way. Jerry follows the voice's instructions, and soon he and a woman he's never met are racing through the city, on to a plane, and eventually to the Pentagon, chased by the FBI. She is Rachel Holloman, a single mom; the voice has threatened her son's death if she doesn't cooperate. The voice seems to know everything. Who is behind it, what is being planned, and why Jerry and Rachel? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

I have to assume that the people responsible for this movie have (or at least think their audience has) absolutely no understanding of technology and believe that logic and reason have no place in the movies. It's yet another sad example of Hollywood throwing money at everything but quality scriptwriting.
The premise, even if executed with any care towards remaining within the realm of plausibility, would still be hampered by CG effects that stick out like 1970's bluescreen backgrounds, characters that fail to have the common sense to ask for help and explain themselves given multiple opportunities to do so, and a Rube Goldbergian plot device that completely ignores the very premise of the movie.
