...a lot smarter and sharper than most mainstream moves in cineplexes these days.

Surprisingly good. Mostly carried by the story of the movie. Rami Malik is not convincing in his role nor is he a very good actor so that drags the movie down a lot. Otherwise a solid entertainment

Rami Malek is a brilliant code cracker lacking in charisma.
