“Crypto” (*1/2 out of four) was an obtuse melodrama about a young investment banker (Beau Knapp) who is suddenly demoted and has to return back to his hometown and begins investigating a tangled web of corruption and fraud that may lead back to his father (Kurt Russell) and his boss (Jill Hennessy) and may involve the Russian mafia. Sounds juicy and intriguing but is confusing and boring instead. Film has echoes of “Boiler Room” and “Margin Call” except those films were far better. Set in Albany, NY but obviously filmed elsewhere.
