Summary
Reviewers say 'Crypto' (2019) delves into cryptocurrency, money laundering, and family drama with the Russian mafia. Criticisms focus on poor acting, particularly from the lead, and a convoluted plot. Some appreciate its attempt to tackle complex financial themes, while others find it superficial and lacking depth. The portrayal of cryptocurrency is often deemed misleading or simplistic, contributing to mixed reception.

I found this movie entertaining. The story of an estranged son who comes back to his hometown as an auditor, to uncover some crooked financial matters. There he finds family again, healing wounds of a painful past and rediscovering his father, brother, his roots. The actor mumbles with a horse face grin because it's part of the character.
Nothing out of this world but then not as bad as some people say it is.
At least understand what you are making the movie about. Calling it 'Crypto' just to get attention... Crypto, money-laundering, the Russian Mafia... the writers literally looked at Google trends and slapped this POS together --- lol Keywords keywords keywords
I was really hoping that this movie would be educational for many people but unfortunately it will paint a negative image for crypto in general...that crypto is used for shady purposes like drugs, prostitution, porn and money laundering. But the fact is that the total market cap of the entire crypto market at the moment (April 2019) is around $134 billion and the banks have been FINED since 2008 for an of $243 BILLION!!! The main problem is that majority of the people don't understand how the monetary system works and what is broken in our current system and what exactly crypto is trying to fix. Only if people could understand or educate themselves about it, poorly realized movies like these wouldn't fool us about crypto anymore!
Some movies go straight to DVD, while others go straight to the trash can. I think this is one of the latter...
The movie was good and in my opinion the pace was right.
I enjoyed everything and never I was bored.
After reading the reviews from haters of their life (this is the real reason why they spit on the others), I understood that wasting time is not watching the movie, it's reading reviews from haters... I read even that Al Pacino is not good in acting... come on, where did you let your brain before writing something so stupid?
Everytime someone says... bad acting. Probably you don't even know what is acting, because you never acted and you'll never act in your whole life, but at your home... please, be smart... stop writing about something you don't know.
"Stay away, run away from this movie"... someone wrote that... to the intelligent people... stay away, run away from people who write something like that and watch the movie... you can't decide just after reading some reviews, it's not clever.
If you want to have a good life, stay away from negative people...

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMonths after release, many who contributed to the crowd funding requested a refund.
- GoofsFor the purposes of a thematic historical reference, most of the action supposedly takes place in Elba, New York. The city limit sign seen at the start of the film shows it has a population of 2,370, but the locations (such as a large shopping mall) are clearly in a much more populous town. Some identifiable settings are in more urbanized areas over 300 miles from the real Elba. It's acceptable for films to create a fictional version of a real town, but they should have changed the population sign to make it more consistent with the chosen locations.
