Criticism
" First, very portly, then increasingly peppy passable entertainment film which produces phased solid voltage with bonds with Alfred Hitchcock, in his criticism of a state who has lost track of its own computer systems, however, acts more aimless. "
"Alarm Level 1 was established in 1984 and deals with a highly topical for that time subject: Computer espionage. However, this movie was so far the first and only screenwriter and director Michael Farkas. The main roles Toni Hudson and Lee Montgomery can be seen. "
