Release Decrypted released on 1 November 2021. Reception Nerdly was critical of the film's script and humor, writing that "The only saving grace of Decrypted is the music, with Richard Morson crafting the kind of spy thriller-esque soundtrack that adds a lot, a LOT, to the films atmosphere. Especially where the script, performances and direction fall totally flat. So flat that you have to wonder how an actress like Spooks’ Sophia Myles ever got involved in it."
