The Great Hack is an important film, one that people need to see, but its account of the Cambridge Analytica operation scarcely touches the shady world of the billionaire oligarchs who are the.

Plot[edit]
At a nuclear plant in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, a hacker causes the coolant pumps to overheat and explode. Not long after in Chicago, the Mercantile Trade Exchange gets hacked, causing soy futures to rise. The Chinese government and the FBI determine that the hack was caused by a remote access tool (RAT). An army officer in China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) cyber warfare unit, Captain Chen Dawai (Leehom Wang), is tasked to find the people responsible for the attacks, and enlists the aid of his sister Chen Lien (Tang Wei), a networking engineer. He meets with FBI Special Agent Carol Barrett (Viola Davis) in Los Angeles and reveals the code in the RAT was written by himself and Nicholas Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth), his brilliant college roommate, in their school days at MIT, years before Hathaway was sent to prison for an unrelated hack as a gag. Dawai asks that the FBI arrange for Hathaway to be released from prison, where he is serving a sentence for computer crimes. Hathaway is offered a temporary release in exchange for his services. He negotiates a deal with the U.S. government to have his prison sentence commuted as time served if his assistance aids in the apprehension of the hacker. However, he must wear an ankle bracelet and be monitored by a Deputy U.S. Marshal named Jessup (Holt McCallany).
Hathaway manipulates the update system on the Marshal's phone GPS that tracks his location, so he can follow his own lead and arranges a meet with the hacker's partner to a restaurant. While they are waiting, he tells Lien about his past, but the hacker's partner never shows. Hathaway discovers a camera watching them and messages the hacker on the restaurant's computer that he is on his trail now. A gang arrives, but Hathaway defeats them as if it were a prison fight.

Hathaway identifies the criminal who aided the hacker in his penetration of the Exchange's computer servers and develops a romantic relationship with Lien. Clues uncovered by Captain Chen and Special Agent Barrett next lead the team to Hong Kong where the team works with Police Inspector Alex Trang (Andy On). The team traces the stock trade money to a known paramilitary operative named Elias Kassar (Ritchie Coster). Hathaway, Jessup, Chen, and Trang, along with a Special Duties Unit team, raid Kassar's hideout. Things go wrong as Trang's Hong Kong Surveillance team tracking Kassar is found dead, having been exposed due to a camera's reflection in sunlight and Kassar and his men already making their getaway. A shootout ensues in a tunnel and Trang as well as a number of SDU officers are killed as Kassar's men are armed with superior firepower and explosives, allowing them to escape by boat.
Meanwhile, the nuclear plant has stabilized enough to retrieve a data drive from the control room but it is corrupted. The NSA's Black Widow software has the power to repair the data, but the U.S. does not want the Chinese using it. Hathaway goes rogue and successfully hacks into the NSA to use Black Widow, discovering that the hacker's server is based in Jakarta. Lien finds out the hacker has been buying high-resolution satellite photos of a site near Seri Manjung, Malaysia.
Hathaway's hack into the NSA does not go unnoticed and the U.S. government, NSA and FBI demand his return to prison. Dawai's superiors advise him to proceed the investigation without Hathaway. Outside, one of Kassar's men secretly plants a tracking device on Dawai's car. Dawai, Lien and Hathaway manage to elude them but Hathaway argues with Lien about the danger of them staying together, when they are ambushed by Kassar and his men. Dawai is killed as are Barrett and Jessup, who arrive on the scene. Lien and Hathaway barely escape into the subway. Lien uses her connections to acquire a plane to go after Kassar.
Mourning Dawai's death, Hathaway and Lien travel to Malaysia out of revenge to figure out the hacker's goal. After discovering a set of tin mines, Hathaway realizes that the hacker's attack at the nuclear plant was merely a test for a later plan to sabotage a large dam with huge spill ways to destroy several major tin mines that are down stream in Malaysia, allowing the hacker to make a fortune trading tin futures. The two travel to Jakarta and hack into the bank's computer to successfully drain the hacker's bank accounts, forcing the hacker, Sadak (Yorick van Wageningen), to respond. Sadak and Hathaway agree to become partners. Hathaway knows that the meeting will be a trap and arms himself with makeshift weapons and body armor, using his prison knowledge. He conceals the weapons under a loose fitting jacket.
Hathaway insists Sadak and Kassar come alone but they bring their henchmen. Lien spots them and alerts Hathaway, who orders them to a new location at nightfall, a crowded parade in a large park. Hathaway trails Sadak and Kassar from behind. Kassar draws a machine pistol on Hathaway as he approaches. As Kassar is frisking Hathaway, he is overpowered and fatally stabbed with a screwdriver. Two of Sadak's men catch up and a firefight ensues, wounding Hathaway despite the armor, who manages to kill both men with the pistol. Hathaway is stabbed by Sadak, but manages to kill him. He regroups with Lien's help, and she gives him medical attention. The film ends with Lien and Hathaway leaving Indonesia, with Sadak's money still in their bank account, although they are now fugitives at large.

Production[edit]
Chris Hemsworth (left) and Michael Mann (right) at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con, promoting the film.
In an interview done at the LMU Film school, Michael Mann said he was inspired to make Blackhat after reading about the events surrounding Stuxnet, which was a computer worm that targeted and reportedly ruined almost one fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges.[5] In keeping with his high standard for authenticity, Mann brought in several technical advisors and consultants like former hackers Christopher McKinley and Kevin Poulsen (senior editor for Wired News), to make the film as authentic as possible.[6] McKinlay was famous for hacking the online dating site OkCupid in order to make his profile the most attractive to women.[7] Director Mann also met with Mike Rogers, who was Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence until 2015. Parisa Tabriz, who manages Google's information security engineering team, said that 'It's the most accurate information security film I've seen.'[8]
The film was tentatively titled Cyber, however the final title was revealed on July 26, 2014 during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con International, and it was being estimated that it might qualify for the Oscars.[9] The first official trailer for the film was released on September 25, 2014.[10]
Filming began on May 17, 2013, in Los Angeles, California; Hong Kong; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and at Lapangan Banteng in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The film would be Mann's first feature to be shot entirely using digital cameras. Although Collateral,Miami Vice and Public Enemies were predominantly digital features, Mann employed 35mm sparingly.
Director Mann donated HK$300,000 (US$38,500) to The Community Chest of Hong Kong in the name of Hang Seng Bank, to thank the bank for allowing him to film Blackhat for five evenings in the bank's lobby area.[11]
In November 2013, Universal set the North American release date for January 16, 2015.[12]
Soundtrack[edit]
The film score was composed by Harry Gregson-Williams[13] with Atticus Ross.[13] Upon viewing the film, however, Gregson-Williams posted a message on Facebook stating that his score went almost unused in the final edit, which included synthesized music not prepared by him or by Ross.[14] He went on to say that, 'I therefore reluctantly join the long list of composers who have had their scores either sliced and diced mercilessly or ignored completely by Michael Mann.'[15] He stated that although he is credited for the score, the final film 'contains almost none of my compositions'.[16] He would later delete the status update containing this information.[16]
Mann later explained that he often prefers to use more than one composer 'to rotate among different emotional perspectives', stating, 'If a composer wants to have his music stand alone, he should be a recording artist and let his work contest itself in that arena.'[17]
Some of Ryan Amon's music that were originally used for Elysium were reused in the film.[1] Mike Dean also contributed additional music.
Release[edit]
Blackhat opened on January 16, 2015, against the wide release of American Sniper, an 'unexpected juggernaut'[18] which set records for the largest January opening weekend in history.[19]Blackhat was a box office bomb, opening at #11 and earning only $1.7 million on its opening day. It made just $4.4 million for the weekend against its $70 million budget.[20] This made the movie one of the worst debuts ever for a movie playing in over 2,500 locations.[21] After only two weeks, Universal decided to withdraw the film from all but 236 theaters. It had been in 2,568 theaters, making it the sixth-biggest drop in history for a third-week film.[22]
An in-depth analysis by industry trade publication Deadline of why Blackhat did not perform primarily examined the marketing strategy as “the major challenge they were unable to overcome” [23] with independent tracking services supporting this conclusion: “total awareness for Blackhat was in the 40-50% range on January 4 and grew to 50-60% on January 15 (versus American Sniper’s 80-90%).” [23] Additionally, “the film wasn’t helped by a marketing campaign that failed to convey a sophisticated plot and a romance… Blackhat instead chased a young audience with action footage that did not seem fresh.” [23]
Internationally, the film grossed $2.33 million in 19 territories in its opening weekend.[24] It played below expectations in markets including Denmark, Greece, Poland, Taiwan, Turkey and Vietnam.[25] Deadline credited Lee Hom Wang and Tang Wei’s inclusion with increased success in other nations including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.[24] In its third weekend, the film grossed $1.8 million with openings of $595,000 and $446,000 in Russia and Spain, respectively.[26] In its fourth weekend, the film grossed $1.2 million for a total of $8.4 million, with its top opener in Germany at $526,000.[27]
Due to the less-than-stellar numbers at the American and Asian box-office, Universal Pictures International opted not to release Blackhat theatrically in Australia.[28] The film was also scrapped for a theatrical release in Belgium.[29]
In the aftermath, Legendary took a $90 million write-down on the film.[30]
On February 20, 2015, Blackhat debuted in the UK.
Home media[edit]
Blackhat was released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 12, 2015 in North America. The Blu-ray edition includes both a DVD copy of the film and a voucher for an UltraViolet/iTunes digital copy, as well as three featurettes: 'The Cyber Threat', 'On Location Around the World', and 'Creating Reality'.[31][32] The DVD edition contains only one featurette: 'Creating Reality'.[33]
In Australia, the film was originally slated to be released theatrically on February 25, 2015, but due to its poor performance at the US box office, it was instead released straight to home video on May 14, 2015.[34][35][36] In the UK, the film was also released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 22, 2015.[37][38]

Director's cut[edit]
Michael Mann premiered a re-edited 136 minute[39] director's cut of the film at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on February 20, 2016.[40] The re-edited version played once, as part of a retrospective series of Mann's films.[41] The primary change in this cut was the movement of the film's nuclear reactor attack sequence from the opening to the middle of the film.[42] Mann originally intended to place the reactor sequence in the middle, but moved it to the beginning of the theatrical cut just before its release.[43] It premiered on FX on May 9, 2017.[44] It was available exclusively on DirecTV.[39], but it has since been removed from the service. Currently, the cut can be seen on TNT.
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds an approval rating of 33% based on 181 reviews, and an average rating of 4.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Thematically timely but dramatically inert, Blackhat strands Chris Hemsworth in a muddled misfire from director Michael Mann.'[45] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[46] According to CinemaScore, audiences gave the film a grade of 'C−' on an A+ to F scale.[47]
For many critics, a significant issue of the film is the casting of Chris Hemsworth as a hacker.[48][49][50]Christy Lemire in the Chicago Sun-Times stated in her review, 'Anyone who makes his or her way in the world sitting in front of a computer screen all day is not going to look as hunky as Hemsworth.'[51] Hemsworth himself was unsatisfied with his performance, saying, 'I didn’t enjoy what I did in the film..It just felt flat, and it was also an attempt to do what I thought people might have wanted to see. But I don’t think I’m good in that space.'[52]
Manohla Dargis from The New York Times gave the film a largely positive review stating, “Michael Mann’s thriller ‘Blackhat,’ a story about the intersection of bodies and machines, is a spectacular work of unhinged moviemaking.”[53]Kenneth Turan from The Los Angeles Times also gave it a positive review, writing, “It lures us in with the promise of up-to-the-minute villainy, but the satisfactions of ‘Blackhat’ are surprisingly old school.”[54]The Hollywood Reporter’s Sheri Linden noted, “The essential problem of cyber-thrillers is one that even so gifted a director hasn’t quite solved, particularly in the film’s first half: Characters looking at computer screens and explaining the significance of what they see doesn’t make for the most riveting viewing.”[55]Matt Zoller Seitz, the Editor-in-Chief of RogerEbert.com, gave Blackhat three and a half out of four stars, stating in his review, '‘Blackhat’ is mainly about what happens when the real world is annexed by the virtual: what it does to geography and relationships; how it signal-jams our species' sense of time as a series of self-contained moments, and substitutes an existence that can feel like an endless, intrusive buzz.'[56]
Year-end lists[edit]
Although Blackhat received generally mixed-to-negative reviews, many critics found merit in its filmmaking to include it in their 'best-of' lists for 2015.[57] In Sight & Sound magazine's poll for the best films of 2015, six critics voted for it as one of the five best films of the year.[58]

Hackers is a 1995 American crime film directed by Iain Softley and starring Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Renoly Santiago, Laurence Mason, Matthew Lillard, Jesse Bradford, Lorraine Bracco, and Fisher Stevens. The film follows a group of high school hackers and their involvement in a corporate extortion conspiracy. Made in the 1990s when the Internet was unfamiliar to the general public, it reflects the ideals laid out in the Hacker Manifesto quoted in the film: 'This is our world now.. the world of the electron and the switch [..] We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias.. and you call us criminals. [..] Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity.' Despite receiving mixed-to-negative reviews and failing at the box office upon release, Hackers has since achieved cult classic status.[3]

Plot[edit]
In 1988, 11-year-old Dade 'Zero Cool' Murphy (Jonny Lee Miller) is arrested and charged with crashing 1,507 computer systems in a single day and causing a single-day 7-point drop in the New York Stock Exchange. His family is fined $45,000 for the events and he is banned from using computers or touch-tone telephones until he is 18 years old. Seven years later, Dade is now living with his divorced mother in New York City. On Dade's 18th birthday, he receives a computer and uses social engineering to hack into a local television station's computer network, changing the current TV program to an episode of The Outer Limits. However, Dade's intrusion is countered by another hacker (handle 'Acid Burn') on the same network, and they briefly converse, with Dade identifying himself by a new alias: 'Crash Override'.
Dade enrolls in a local high school where he meets Kate Libby (Angelina Jolie) who pranks Dade by claiming that there is a pool on the roof of the school. Ramon 'The Phantom Phreak' Sanchez (Renoly Santiago) observes Dade accessing the school network during computer class to put himself in the same English class as Kate, and invites him to a hacker nightclub, Cyberdelia, where Dade beats Kate's high score in the Wipeout arcade game. Soon after, Dade exacts revenge for the earlier prank by scheduling a test of the school's sprinkler system the next day. Dade begins integrating himself into Phreak's circle of hacker friends: Emmanuel 'Cereal Killer' Goldstein (Matthew Lillard), Paul 'Lord Nikon' Cook (Laurence Mason) (so named for his photographic memory), and Joey Pardella (Jesse Bradford), an aspiring novice hacker without an alias. At a party, Dade learns that Kate is 'Acid Burn', the hacker that kicked him out of the TV network earlier.
Meanwhile, Joey, out to prove his skills, successfully breaks into 'The Gibson', an Ellingson Mineral Company supercomputer. He attempts to download a garbage file as proof of his feat, but his mother disconnects his computer so he'll sleep, leaving Joey with a fragmented file. However, prior to Joey's disconnection, the company's IT employee Hal (Penn Jillette) detects this unauthorized entry and summons computer security officer Eugene 'The Plague' Belford (Fisher Stevens), a former hacker. While going through the files, Plague realizes the garbage file being downloaded is a worm he inserted to defraud Ellingson. The Plague pretends the hackers are to blame and enlists the US Secret Service to recover the file, claiming it is the code to a computer virus (named 'Da Vinci' for an image of the Vitruvian Man that accompanies it) that will capsize the company's oil tanker fleet. In fact, The Plague had inserted the virus as a red herring to cover for his worm.
Soon after, Joey is arrested and his computer is searched, but the Secret Service doesn't find anything, as Joey had hidden the disk containing the files. In response, Dade and Kate decide to settle their disagreements with a bet, with Dade choosing a date with Kate as his prize and Kate electing to have Dade perform menial computing tasks. The hacking duel focuses on harassing Secret Service Agent Richard Gill (Wendell Pierce), 'Hacker enemy number one', who was involved in Joey's arrest. After various pranks including canceling Gill's credit cards, creating a fake embarrassing personal ad in Gill's name, fabricating a criminal record, and changing his payroll status to 'deceased', the duel remains in a tie status.
After being released on parole, Joey reveals the disk to Phreak in a public park; but they quickly realize that they are being followed by the Secret Service. The next day, Phreak is arrested and uses his phone call to inform Kate that he hid the disk in a boys' bathroom at school. That evening, Kate and Cereal Killer ask Dade for his help; but he declines, stating he has 'a record'. Kate then asks Dade to copy the disk so that, if anyone else is arrested, they have the disk as un-tampered evidence. After determining that Dade is not the one who hacked into Ellingson, The Plague attempts to enlist Dade's help to find the one who did. First, he sends Dade a high-powered laptop that displays a video message from The Plague encouraging Dade to join him. Later, he threatens to have Dade's mother incarcerated with a manufactured criminal record. At this, Dade agrees to deliver Kate's copy of the disk.
Meanwhile, Kate, Lord Nikon, and Cereal Killer attempt to discern the contents of the disk. Dade joins them; and, after working all night, they learn the purpose of its code—a worm designed to salami-slice $25 million from Ellingson transactions. Dade confesses that he knows Plague is behind this scheme, admitting that he gave him the disk and revealing his hacking history as 'Zero Cool'. Determined to stop the scheme, the assembled hackers plan to hack the Gibson again. Kate and Dade go dumpster-diving for employee memos with passwords; Cereal Killer installs a phone tap in the Ellingson offices; and Nikon poses as a delivery boy wandering the Ellingson cubicles, memorizing employee passwords as they enter them into their terminals.
Reading the memos, they discover that the Da Vinci virus is set to capsize the oil fleet the next day, which would provide the perfect cover to distract from the salami-slicing worm. In need of help, Dade and Kate seek out Razor and Blade, the producers of a hacker-themed unlicensed TV show, 'Hack the Planet.' Razor and Blade are at a club where Urban Dance Squad is performing and Dade and Kate manage to convince Razor and Blade to join them in disrupting The Gibson enough that the garbage file can be located and copied. Lord Nikon and Cereal Killer learn through their Ellingson phone tap that warrants for their arrest are to be executed at 9AM the next day.
The next morning, after being paged by Kate, Nikon and Cereal roller-blade from Washington Square Park, evading the Secret Service after exploiting the traffic system and using a payload that reconfigures traffic lights and converge on Grand Central station, where they use payphones and acoustic couplers to begin their assault on the Gibson. At first, their attempts are easily rebuffed by Plague, who calls Dade to taunt him to escape before he is arrested. However, Razor and Blade have contacted hackers around the world, who lend their support with virus attacks, hampering the Gibson and distracting Plague long enough for Joey to download the incriminating file to a floppy disk.
Shortly after crashing the Gibson, Dade and company are arrested. As they're being led away, Dade surreptitiously informs Cereal Killer, hiding in the crowd, that he's tossed the disk in a trashcan. As Dade and Kate are being interrogated, Razor and Blade jam the local television signals and broadcast live video of Cereal Killer, revealing the plot and Plague's complicity, along with the account number with the stolen funds. Plague is arrested while attempting to flee to Japan under the alias 'Mr. Babbage' (itself a reference to Charles Babbage) and Wallace is escorted to prison. Their names cleared, Dade and Kate go on a date at a swimming pool on the roof of a building, their friends showing off their latest hack—the lights in several adjacent office buildings spelling out 'CRASH AND BURN.' Confirming that they have had dreams about each other, the two begin a relationship.

Production[edit]
Screenplay[edit]
The screenplay, written by Rafael Moreu, is highly inspired by the hacker and cyberpunk subcultures.[5] He saw the film as more than just about computer hacking but something much larger: 'In fact, to call hackers a counterculture makes it sound like they're a transitory thing; I think they're the next step in human evolution.'[6] He had been interested in hacking since the early 1980s. After the crackdown in the United States during 1989 and 1990, he decided to write a script about the subculture. For research, Moreu went to a meeting organized by the New York-based hacker magazine 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. There, he met Phiber Optik, a.k.a. Mark Abene, a 22-year-old hacker who spent most of 1994 in prison on hacking charges.[6] Moreu also hung out with other young hackers being harassed by the government and began to figure out how it would translate into a film. He remembered, 'One guy was talking about how he'd done some really interesting stuff with a laptop and payphones and that cracked it for me, because it made it cinematic'.[6] The character Eugene Belford uses Babbage as a pseudonym at the end of the film, a reference to Charles Babbage, an inventor of an early form of the computer. The fictional computer mainframe named the 'Gibson' is a homage to cyberpunk author William Gibson and originator of the term 'Cyberspace', first in his 1982 short story 'Burning Chrome' and later in his 1984 book Neuromancer.
Pre-production[edit]
The cast spent three weeks getting to know each other and learning how to type and rollerblade. They studied computers and met with actual computer hackers, including Tristan Louis, Kevin Mitnick, and Nicholas Jarecki, who served as a technical consultant and credits his experience on Hackers as inspiring his later career as the screenwriter and director of the award-winning film Arbitrage.[7] Actor Jonny Lee Miller even attended a hacker's convention.[8]
Shooting[edit]
The school scenes were filmed in Stuyvesant High School and the surrounding areas in the TriBeCa and East Village neighborhoods of Manhattan in November 1994. Many scenes included real school seniors as extras.[9][10]

The interior scenes for the Cyberdelia nightclub were filmed at the disused Brentford Public Baths[11] on the outskirts of London. Producer Ralph Winter noted, 'We never knew why, but the pool was designated a historic landmark, so great care had to be taken not to damage anything and to return it to its original state.'[12] The exterior set was filmed in downtown Manhattan.
Post-production[edit]
Softley did not use CGI for any of the sequences in cyberspace. He said they used 'more-conventional methods of motion control, animation, models, and rotoscoping to create a real, three-dimensional world, because.. computer graphics alone can sometimes lend a more flat, sterile image.'[5] Video game developer Psygnosis created the CGI for the Wipeoutarcade game sequence.[13]
Shortly after the filming ended, Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie were married, and after divorcing, remain good friends.
Marketing[edit]
MGM/UA set up a website for Hackers that soon afterwards was allegedly hacked by a group called the 'Internet Liberation Front.' A photograph of the film's stars Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller were doodled upon, and the words 'this is going to be an entertaining fun promotional site for a movie,' were replaced with 'this is going to be a lame, cheesy promotional site for a movie!' The studio maintained the site during the theatrical run of the movie in its altered form.[5][14][15]
The movie poster shows Acid Burn and Crash Override with various words and ASCII symbols superimposed on their faces, with the words:
- Hacker names from the movie, including Lord Nikon, Acid Burn, and Crash Override.
- Most commonly-used passwords, noted by Plague, such as God, Sex, Love, and Secret.
- Phreak, a 'phone freak' hacker whose specialty is telephone systems, with the main Phreaker in the hacker group Phantom Phreak.
Soundtrack[edit]
The music soundtrack combines electronica, pulsating tribal rhythms and techno/house music of early hardcore groups like Prodigy, Underworld and Orbital. Well Acclaimed with 4.0 of 5 stars from 54 reviewers,[16] it was released in 3 separate volumes over three years. The first volume was composed entirely of music featured in the film (with the exception of Carl Cox's 'Phoebus Apollo'), while the second and third are a mix of music 'inspired by the film' as well as music actually in the film. The most featured song in the movie is 'Voodoo People' by The Prodigy.
Most of the music in the film, however, including much of the techno and electronic music, was composed and performed by UK film composer Simon Boswell.

Reception[edit]
Some critics praised the film for its stylish visuals but criticized its unconvincing look at hackers and their subculture. Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, 'The movie is smart and entertaining, then, as long as you don't take the computer stuff very seriously. I didn't. I took it approximately as seriously as the archeology in Indiana Jones'.[17] On the show Siskel & Ebert, Ebert gave the film thumbs up while Gene Siskel gave the film thumbs down, saying, 'I didn't find the characters that interesting and I really didn't like the villain in this piece. I thought Fisher Stevens was not very threatening.. The writing is so arch.'[18]
In his review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Peter Stack wrote, 'Want a believable plot or acting? Forget it. But if you just want knockout images, unabashed eye candy and a riveting look at a complex world that seems both real and fake at the same time, Hackers is one of the most intriguing movies of the year.'[19]
USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and Mike Clark wrote, 'When a movie's premise repels all rational analysis, speed is the make-or-break component. To its credit, Hackers recalls the pumped-up energy of Pump Up the Volume, as well as its casting prowess'.[20] In his review for the Toronto Star, Peter Goddard wrote, 'Hackers joy-rides down the same back streets Marlon Brando did in The Wild One, or Bruce Springsteen does in Born To Run. It gives all the classic kicks of the classic B-flicks, with more action than brains, cool hair and hot clothes, and all the latest tech revved to the max'.[21]
Chicago Reader critic Jonathan Rosenbaum noted that, 'Without being any sort of miracle, this is an engaging and lively exploitation fantasy-thriller about computer hackers, anarchistic in spirit, that succeeds at just about everything The Net failed to—especially in representing computer operations with some visual flair.'[22]
The Los Angeles Times David Kronke wrote, 'imagination of Rafael Moreu, making his feature screenwriting debut, and director Iain Softley..piles on the attitude and stylized visuals, no one will notice just how empty and uninvolving the story really is'.[23] In his review for the Washington Post, Hal Hinson wrote, 'As its stars, Miller and Jolie seem just as one-dimensional—except that, in their case, the effect is intentional'.[24]Entertainment Weekly gave the film a 'D' rating and Owen Gleiberman wrote, 'the movie buys in to the computer-kid-as-elite-rebel mystique currently being peddled by magazines like Wired'.[25]
The film has a metascore of 46 by critics on Metacritic[26] and a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 45 reviews.[27]
