Well I just saw this movie for the first time even though it came out in 1995. I sure didn't miss much except knowing that it's one of the most poorly made movies ever made.
Okay, since when did hacking involve all these 3D computer graphical game-like images? I would of been more awake looking at the actors type on a black dos screen instead...
The actors were really bad even Angelina Jolie. They did a really good job of looking like WANNABE hackers though. Oh wait, they were really suppose to be hackers? I think Sandra Bullock (in the movie "The Net") did a better job "pretending" to know a lot about computers then these actors. I don't know if the director intended to give more of a comedy like feeling but that just made everyone sound stupid... "I hacked into the FBI!" "I hacked the bank!" "We're elite hackers o'kay!"... Then there's also the bad guy riding a skateboard and these "hackers" on roller skates? You got to be kidding me... This movie was very corny and the feeling was much like a TV movie.
"The Net" with Sandra Bullock which also happened to be released in 1995 was a lot better and actually had thrilling moments unlike this movie.
I would of probably skipped the movie K-PAX if I saw Hackers back in 1995 knowing Iain Softley directed them both. Yes, K-PAX was bad also. I'm definitely gonna skip his next directing movie.
The only good thing about this movie is the soundtrack. Other then that skip it. (Orbital - Halcyon & On & On is a nice song.)
1/10
