CJ J Talent Keyhole has some genuinely interesting visual compositions throughout the entire film, along with synthesizer music that harkens back to many of the thrillers that came out of the 70s and 80s. As I listened to the original compositions, my first impression was that multi-threat director and composer Michael Lauter took much of his inspiration from John Carpenter - who scored many of his own films, making him a great film auteur to emulate. I found the shot composition throughout to be very good, almost as if a set designer directed the film. Things bog down in the story telling, however. There are a lot of things going on, and sometimes the narrative isn't clear. The actors in the film are very good-looking too. Unfortunately, this is where the film loses some of its mojo. The lead actress's acting doesn't match their good looks and there are few particularly wooden sequences that may have been aided by tighter editing. Overall, it's obvious that writer/director Michael Lauter accomplished many of his creative visions for the look of the film, and it's clear he has a passion for visuals and shot composition. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Mark S A future where even your own thoughts aren't private... Kassandra is a contractor at a secret intelligence agency. A bisexual neuroscientist with high-level security clearance. Her first Special Operation is "Persian Mirrors," a rendition order on a beautiful Iranian political activist named Jasmine. Government spooks want Jasmine for tampering with military devises. Kassandra wants "Jaz" for her own devises. Director Michael Lauter makes extraordinary use of glitchy effects and hallucinatory colors. Lauter is a digital painter, really, with a bold and distinctive style. Fabulous costuming by Mona Lucero.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Elena T With edge-of-the-seat plot twists and relatable characters, Talent Keyhole keeps you wanting more! Edgy Sci-Fi with splashes of romance and action. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Sam A Despite a micro-budget Talent Keyhole brings some great actors, an intriguing, if sometimes a bit opaque, story and a director who is TRYING, pushing at the edges of the norm. Watch this instead of the next cookie cutter SuperHero Product. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Don C Talent Keyhole is a combination of surreal, education on the inner workings of the intelligence apparatus, imagery and location. The concept is captivating and the music sets an ambience that is very unique. This is a fun watch, it's sexy for an intelligence subject, and the colors pop off the screen! The director is multitalented and did a great job on this film! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
