Where can I watch that? Is that movie any good? The trailer doesn't look great and reminds me of conservaslop apocalypse home invasion type stuff or that weird movie where the world government that wants everyone to wear masks is in one warehouse and there's a christian preacher steve jobs type and they have a goth tradwife hacker lady.

I am unsure as to how "good" it is, but it does give off "made for TV" vibes (IMDB rating is 6.9 from merely 100 votes). It appears that the film was intended to be a series that never happened. I think the premise is quite interesting and was the initial reason I sought the show out. The search is made more alluring now because it is nowhere to be found. So far....
