Who Am I - No System Is Safe

A stylish, confident, and well built hacker film, a descendant of Fight Club and a probable precursor of Mr. Robot. (12/13/2015)

I can easily confess that this film surprised me from the very beginning by its dynamics. It has a simple premise that is put into a complexity of the hacking world and it has a very decent pace. My only problem with it was the ambiguity not only of the story itself, but also of the timeline, which was pretty confusing. You will eventually find the logic in the story and in the end be surprised by its great and innovative ending. (05/30/2018)

An unexpected hit and quite possibly the best film from Germany and the best film related to hacking. A very interesting story supported by intelligent dialogues and solid young actors introduces us to the world of cybercrime in a very brisk and engaging way. The depiction of internet communication is presented in a dark and visually captivating way, the rivalry between the hackers is very competent and there are enjoyable twists and turns throughout, with the final one being a climactic mindfuck and one of the greatest audience fuck-ups I've ever seen. A beautiful trip into the recesses of the Dark Net. 85% (04/02/2016)

I always welcome hacker films (especially since they hardly ever come out...) and here we have an excellent and engaging ride from Germany. The main four hackers coincidentally get together and go from small actions to huge actions. It's not a downright cat and mouse game, as you would expect given the genre, and the police investigations go by the wayside. Instead, the film focuses on how a small group wants to get the word out and get recognition from the biggest hacker on the dark web. Of course, things don’t go as they should, and we get into a perfect rollercoaster ride that doesn't lack action, clever ideas, great characters and most importantly countless twists and turns that make this film a treat that grabs you from the start and doesn't let go until the end. And the final twist, outwitting the antagonists and even the viewer, is actually more than welcome. Good. And Elyas MBarek in the lead role (Suck Me Shakespeer) is a great. (05/19/2024)

While I had a decent time, there were some glaring logical gaps in the film and a lack of originality. At times, it felt like a mix of The Usual Suspects and Fight Club, but oh well. That said, I wasn't bored for a moment, so I don't regret the time I spent watching. Plus, I wouldn't want to anger any hacking cell with a bad review; Bridgestone stepped back, so why should I play hero? / Lesson learned: Don't mess with hackers if you want to play an online game.

Crazily good! I really wasn’t expecting to get such a portion of action drama, plus occasional funny moments and a wonderfully complex story. I didn’t get bored for a minute and I really enjoyed this movie. I saw Who Am I - No System Is Safe during the "Das Filmfest" annual festival of German movies, where I was expecting to see those dreary and depressing stories that I like. But the story about the hacker really got to me. The actors, the music, the special effects and the overall pace and oomph were all top rate. (10/24/2015)
