About This Movie

Webmaster (1998) is a fascinating dive into the murky waters of cybercrime, with a plot that feels oddly prescient. The film’s tone balances a gritty realism with a tech-noir atmosphere that sets it apart. Lars Bom as J.B. delivers a solid performance, navigating the complexities of his character’s moral ambiguity quite well. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it contributes to a sense of urgency and paranoia that feels just right for a thriller. There are some practical effects here that, while not fully polished, add a certain charm. Stoiss, played by Jørgen Kiil, embodies that menacing authority figure you just love to hate. It's the kind of film that leaves you pondering the ethical quandaries of technology long after the credits roll.
