"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.
