“Dark Web: Cicada 3301” (**12 out of four) was an intermittently engaging sci/fi action thriller about a hacker (Jack Kesy), his best friend (Ron Funches), and a mysterious librarian (Conor Leslie) who find themselves all over their head in global and international intrigue when they are recruited by the secret society of a corporation known as the dark web. Director Alan Ritchson overdirects with as much energy and style as possible in trying to make this entertaining but it all becomes a bit numbing after a while. Not bad but after a while may remind you more of a video game than an actual movie.
