THE HUMMINGBIRD PROJECT

TRAILER  
The latest Kim Nguyen movie staring Jesse EisenbergAlexander SkarsgårdSalma Hayek  takes us on a whirlwind adventure into high tech and high finance intrigue where every millisecond counts. Vincent Zaleski (Jesse Eisenberg) enrolls his genius cousin Anton Zaleski (Alexander Skarsgård) in a scheme that would galvanize Wall Street and make them wealthy: the fastest cable connection to deliver market information a few milliseconds faster than any existing cable. The story takes us through the many levels of government, manual labor, geography and more that must be dealt with to achieve the monumental task of passing the cable from one destination to the next.  Salma HayekT is Eva Torres, the tough business woman who will do everything to block the Zaleskis's project. The story is fast paced and exciting but what I found beautiful is the evolution of Eisenberg's character Vincent Zaleski, who faces a crisis that gives him just enough time to re-evaluate the important things of life. In this sense, the movie becomes relevant to the most serious questions facing humanity now, how to balance the economy and ecology?
