An action-packed slog

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The story is simple, but I think this film has a lots of 90s spirit, the clothes and the soundtrack are amazing, just people who born or lived their teenage life in the 90s would love this film.... the acting isn't bad, and the cast it's really good, I think this film has potential.

A young boy is arrested by the U.S. Secret Service for writing a computer virus and is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday. Years later, he and his new-found friends discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus, but they must use their computer skills to find the evidence while being pursued by the Secret Service and the evil computer genius behind the virus.I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s and was involved in computer culture. I was never a "hacker" but I understood what "phreaking" and other hacking-related activities were. We knew what "war driving" was. The stuff depicted in this film was unrealistic then and remains unrealistic today (for the most part).It serves as an interesting nostalgia piece, if anyone can be nostalgic for the 90s. Also, this has to be one of Angelina Jolie's breakout roles. Who knew in 1995 that she would go on to be a celebrated director and something of Hollywood royalty?

I swear, this movie really excites you because you get to learn all the hacking methods they used to get into computers. Now, I'm pretty sure the codes and computers back then looked to be completely rubbish but really, they had a lot of potential. Nowadays, I say hacking is easily accessible because we use a lot of technology. Don't worry,I'm not a hacker myself but in the movie, it's just mind-blowing to look at the equipment to use and how they can instantly hack with no problems! Man, you probably need to make an effort with your brain in order to do that stuff!Angelina Jolie looks really different with short hair but she hasn't changed a bit. Johnny Lee Miller made me satisfied this time, I'm still not that fond of him in Sherlock. However he would do better in other things then that terrible show. This film is well done, you better believe it!

"Hackers" is a cyberdrama from 1995 that fails to deliver much drama. The technical aspects of the film might be called "quaint" by today's standards. Of course it is always difficult to create drama on film when most of the action is someone typing on a keyboard. The answer is usually to offer graphic (mis)representations of the internal actions. And maybe to project screen images onto the faces of the typists. This film never generates much heat. The impending catastrophe never feels like it is of consequence. The hackers and their enemies have a conflict that could be described as "cute". In fact, this film is more comedy than drama.The primary actors are all young kids. Seeing Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller (exes who met on this film) in the lead roles offers the greatest joy in Hackers. In 2013, Jonny Lee is now playing Sherlock Holmes in TV's "Elementary" and doing a great job. Angelina has turned in some very good performances since Hackers and is now an icon of American cinema and culture. It is also fun to see Fisher Stevens, Lorraine Bracco, Wendell Pierce (Suits"), Marc Anthony, and Penn Jillette.Dated stories do not have to feel dated. Consider "Wargames" with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. That story is not just about computer activities; it has a very human story that drives the action. Unfortunately, Hackers does not have that much depth.
