Disappointing Michael Mann movie. I had expected better with this type of story. It gets better as it goes but it takes a while to get going. Too much tough talking by Chris Hemsworth makes his character unlikeable.

Not a bad movie, actually. It's better than most movies you'll find on Netflix, that's for sure. I mean, it's ten times better than "The Gray Man" (2022). If you want to see a younger Chris Hemsworth looking like a real stud, then check…

At the focal center of Blackhat: event trading the commodities market. More precisely, fabricating an orchestrated event, tailor-made to produce instantaneous, massive profit. The online commentary regarding this movie has largely been,…
An interesting cyber-thriller about a team on a mission to track down a hacker responsible for an nuclear plant explosion before he strikes again. My husband assured me that the computer-speak was not all just gibberish--much of the…

Watchable thriller by Michael Mann. When it comes to cyber crime and how criminals actually manipulate things presented on screen I'm suspending belief of their cyber explanations. Lots of cyber gibberish to me. To me as long as it…

Terrible movie !!! I had a hard time believing that this was the same director who directed Heat and Collateral. The technical details were criminally wrong. even worse than swordfish . It seemed to be inspired by the malware attack on the…

Is Michael Mann's film making getting worse? Seemed to hit a high crescendo with Heat and its been all down hill since. I thought this was badly written, badly paced, and badly acted. The whole time you feel like you are watching actors…

I loved this movie. In fact I ran out and bought the DVD on the first day of issue. To all the negative reviews I can only ask if we saw the same film? The action kept me on the edge of my seat, the leading lady was a knockout, the plot…

Shallow
Phony, full of cheap clichés and lame mellow dramas. Poor directorial job trying to recreate something like
Michael Caton-Jones' The Jackal with Richard Gere and Bruce Willis, though unfortunately no where near that one.
Also…

Opening sequence simulating the micro-view of the electronic path from the keyboard, computer chips, internet to target was super that deserved a second watch. The rest of the story about cyber crimes, manipulating soy futures and hacking…

For some reason about 20 minutes or so into film it switched from a slick "movie theater" look to a second rate movie. I'm not sure how to describe it. Its as if watching something on sci fy channel, where its not a theater released movie.…

Another somewhat long Michael Mann film. He seems to like having the cops deliberately stand up and absorb lots of gunfire even when there is plenty of cover. This is his idea of drama. No good, sane cop is going to knowingly and…

So completely unrealistic and slow that I had to turn it off. "Hackers" need not worry about being dethroned as the defacto computer geek movie (although "Live Free or Die Hard" gave it a good try)
