‘LifeHack’ Review: Latest Movie In Computer Screenlife Genre Is Best Yet, A Rocking And Riveting Cryptocurrency Heist Film – SXSW

deadline.com:

Firmly established in the digital age as its own genre, Screenlife defines movies taking place in their entirety on computer screens.

A real pioneer in all this is filmmaker/producer Timur Bekmambetov who has shepherded some of the best known and better films in the format including 2015’s horror film Unfriended, 2018’s suspense-driven Searching and its 2023 sequel Missing.

Now in the age of Cryptocurrency, Bekmambetov and his company are behind LifeHack, a digital cousin of the Ocean’s 11 concept and a heist film born out of a new generation never having to leave their bedrooms to pull off the big steal and –hopefully – elude capture.

For my money this is hands down the best Screenlife movie yet, a dazzling marriage of online skill, clever storytelling, brilliant editing, and acting within the confines of your computer screen that rivals the best of any heist film in recent years.
