Cypher (15, Pathe Distribution, Sci-Fi/Thriller, also available to buy DVD £17.99/VHS £9.99) Stars: Jeremy Northam, Lucy Liu, Nigel Bennett, David Hewlett

ACCOUNTAT Morgan Sullivan (Northam) becomes embroiled in the high-stakes world of espionage. He attends conferences and records the conversations of rival businesses for his ruthless boss Finster (Bennett). He meets femme fatale Rita (Liu), who claims that Morgan is the victim of a brainwashing conspiracy. He secretly takes drugs which allow him to see through the tissue of lies which masquerade as his reality... or maybe that's just what Rita wants him to see. Writer-director Vicenzo Natali certainly delivers on the promise of his debut feature, the devilish low budget sci-fi horror Cube.

DVD Extras: Director commentary, Making Of featurette, behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews.
