3.0 out of 5 stars "Fingle you are mine...WITH SAUCE", November 25, 2004

By 

David Griffin Blyth (Britain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Overdrawn at the Memory Bank [VHS] (VHS Tape)

On paper (literally, as this was based on a short story) Overdrawn at the Memory Bank has a great premise, informing us of what can and can't be controlled, and how some can adjust to that control, but others will always try to change it, for without progress, we would all be subjucated to what Fingle frequently finds himself...bored.

Fingle is sent into an Identicub holomatrix during a compulsary rehab session, and becomes trapped there, creating his own world (or rather butchering the settings and characters of the Humphry Bogart film Cassablanca) Fingle is soon able to use his surroundings to polay havok with the coroporations that run the planet's financial and climate conditions, a one-man rebellion from within the system, against the system.

Only a woman assigned to monitor Fingle whilst hsi body is located is his sole window into the real world, the two begin feeling affection for one another, but she works on both sides of the fence, trying to keep Fingle from going too far whilst trying to appease the wrath of the Corporation president (whom Fingle refers to as "FAT MAN")

Whilst the film fails on most levels to impress, (what film produced by PUBLIC ACCESS can do that and NOT be a miracle?) the story still shows signs of promise that hopefully, one day, is broght to our screens again, only this time with a competant script, sharper acting, and better quality.

At least this film is'nt an ant-eater...

4.0 out of 5 stars Digthis... Casablanca in the computer!!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Overdrawn at the Memory Bank [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you liked ice-pirates or tron or dark-star then this may be for you. No its not over produced. No you won't be distracted by ridiculously professional special effects. But this movie is cool with a captial coo! If you consider yourself a computer nerd, logic designer or electronic engineer and don't like this celluloid sequence... previously know as a flick, then turn in your keyboard and become an accountant or truck driver now!! I've been a programmer and dumpster diver and biker since I was 10 and I love this flick!!! If you don't love this flick then you must live a life free of cheesyness, cheapness, and Orwellian-ness. Nothing starting chee... except for Orwellian-ness that is.
