Electro underdog tale, killer soundtrack

"Hackers" has an all around talented cast, creative but overused graphics, Matrix-like costumes, and a stellar soundtrack of electro and indie alternative and rock music. It's overlong probably because of said overused graphics, but also because of creative collage edits which gives the film its colorful, pop culture appearance.I enjoyed the film because of its pure entertainment value. There isn't a strong message, just underdog hackers taking down the big bad. Plus Angelina Jolie sizzles like in "Gone in 60 Seconds."Edit: I've checked out the credits for this film, and it has some pretty serious talent. Such as cinematographer for Pulp Fiction, editor for Wonder Woman, casting director for Star Wars, computer graphics creator for Inception, etc. Its also great the soundtrack went on to bolster then-underground electronic music.

Brilliant Movie

I watched this movie by accident but i am glad i did. it is not a well known movie but i think it is great. the plot is stupid and unbelieveable but it is really enjoyable. i am not a big fan of Johnny Lee Miller but even in this he is good. it also is the first time i saw Angelina Jolie who in this is good. in all good performances all round and good movie

Compelling Subject Matter, Wasted With Cheesy Plot

I think this is a movie that can only be described as mediocre. It's not embarrassingly bad, but it's far from great. First, it's good points: energy, hackers make intriguing subjects, and fairly interesting, likable protagonists. It's bad points: a "Superman"-like plot master-minded by a supremely cheesy villain. The effects got annoying after a while, and there was plenty of "information" about computers that was not accurate. I"m not sorry I saw it, but I wish someone would make a movie that would be a correct portrayal of hackers. Then again, computer technology goes so fast that such a movie would likely be very dated before its release.
