Z for Zachariah Explained and Reviewed - I adored this movie. And yet, I doubt many will like it. Three people movies are never really well received. They are too play-like for the American public.
Who Am I is setup as an interview between Benjamin, who is apparently a hacker that has been caught by Europol investigator Hanne Lindberg. Or maybe Benjamin is running for his life from a Russian hacking group that has sussed out his identity and murdered the rest of his hacking crew?
