ThiefHott Too much of everything

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

peacecop kalmer: i found the movie listed in https://github.com/k4m4/movies-for-hackers? utm_source=digitalocean_newsletter and watched it after Wargames. i had no idea what the film was about. The beginning was promising and after watching the first 15 minutes, i went on later and didn't stop before the end.i like the pace of this movie. It is constantly exciting. Sometimes, if a new plan appears and it seems to be something like "blah-blah" then still something exciting happens.Characters are played smoothly.The movie has a big message: Knowledge belongs to everybody. There are also smaller messages. One guy protects his system behind a firewall and thinks to have it secured well but as every lock is breakable and every human hackable he doesn't pay attention of being traced physically. The big story is that people who are hunting access to resources and want billions of a currency to achieve it, are ready to do whatever it takes. The one who has resources has the power. It is exactly the politics around us. And once a guy doesn't work for commerce and adores open source, he will be provided with financial support for working on his open source project. As he has a tunnel vision being concentrated on the principle of open source, he makes another mistake and can't see that his investor works for the same commerce the guy refused to work for. In America, there are Democrats and Liberals. Democrats say that Liberals are bad and Liberals say that Democrats are bad, although the boss of both branches is the same.The movie keeps being exciting to the end and the end is not too long. Watching this movie we get surprised and never know who is on who's side. There is somebody who switches two times the side. And overall it is a tactical game - who wins, the good or the bad?If somebody wants to learn some coding or hacking from this movie then also this is possible. The movie doesn't teach how to hack machines but it does a more efficient approach - how to hack humans. We can learn some black magic that everyone can perform.But unfortunately, overriding all the channels and networks with a piece of software is quite unrealistic so i would have made this thing differently. And as i don't like violence, for violence scenes, i cut off one more star. This is why i don't give 10 but it gets earned 8 points for messages, story and implementation.

filmsarmy I don't write reviews. In fact this is my first for many years and I don't know if it classifies as a review of the film itself but rather a critique of the incompetence and lack of thought that went into the making of this film.I feel compelled to warn anyone against watching this film if they value the time they have on this planet. Fortunately, after 20 minutes or so I turned off. If I hadn't I might have thrown something at the TV screen in disgust.The plot is naïve, unworldly and the scripting and dialogue has to be seen to be believed. How Tim Robbins got caught up in this I don't know.Even more surprising is that I see it won some awards. A "golden goblet". I think a wooden spoon would be appropriate.I won't say any more except that you should give this a VERY wide berth. How it sits there with a 6 star rating at the time of writing is beyond me.

mehmeteden This movie is best hackers movie. If you liked Hackers 1 and Hackers 2 movies you'll love this one. Exceptional. Characters acts very very well.I'm disappointed because of the votes. This movie must be at least 7.0 :((((((. I love this film and it has a lot of fans. We want a sequel or prequel. Is good than Social Network. I didn't like it. Antitrust also is directed very well is not a B movie. Ryan Fellipe acts very well. Tim Robbins performance is awesome. He looks like Bill Gates also his house. The garage reminds me Steve Jobs and Wozniak's garage. In movie Gary Winston says "Bill Gates is primitive ".I hope that will be another one. 10/10

leplatypus This is a failed techno-thriller because the techno part is dumb while the thriller is better.Now that computers have become ordinary things, the simplistic "wargames" can't be repeated and the hacking has become more daunting. But the movie can't explain what it's about: what's Nurv? Why is-it so powerful? What does it achieve? At the end, I still don't know so I can't relate to the movie: I see people working, thinking but I don't understand anything.On the other hand, the thriller is well done with the character becoming more and more paranoiac.Thus, I help this movie with a little "4" vote instead of an awful "1" just because of the turn of events and the good cast (even thought a decade later, no one has made a big name!).
