THE RED MACHINE, 2009. 84 minutes.
Directors: Alec Boehm and Stephanie Argy
A fascinating throwback to the great propaganda and espionage movies produced during the Great Depression, this film is full of crackling dialogue, eye-catching visuals and unpredictable twists.
It's Washington, D.C., 1935. A charming and irrepressible young ace safecracker is forced to help a mysterious cool-as-ice U.S. Navy spy steal a brand new top-secret device that the Japanese military is using to encode its messages. During the mission, which is complicated by the spy's dark past, the two discover that they are pawns in a much larger game as the plot thickens.
