Entertaining and lively movie if you take it for what it is in my personal opinion.

Of course the story is slightly over the top and basic in terms of the good guy anti hero types versus bad guy movie standard. Yes it does make some minor changes in it's pre-set storyline from the more traditional black and white story ethic where your bad guy is obviously nasty and your good guy is a morally grounded, strond minded defender.

The movie may seem to be littered with buzz words and jargon of the techno generation of computer hackers but without some of the lingo it'd lose it's appeal entirely. It seems to be from my impression well researched, put together and constructed. The backgrounds and scene's are atypical of the stereotype of characters with fluroscent colours and clothes and trendy rollerblades being the preferred method of transport, however the soundtrack is one part of the film that you cannot fault. It is vast and carefully selected and compliments the film in many ways during the progression through the world of our group of young hopefuls. So in general the scene's are lively and engrossing with their many colours (except for the school house of course..) Soundtrack is sublime and well researched however the actual execution of the film and the rather see-through storyline certainly detract from it's appeal.

Overall not a total waste of your time but not exactly life changing. ;)

It's not great, but its an ok movie thats fun to watch. The story was weak, the characters were bad, but for some reason you can't look away.

I know that Hackers is not a great film but it's one of those movies I can't help but like. The plot is mediocre. The writing is bad. The acting overall ranges from average to bad. Fisher Stevens however is just god awful. With this said, I have...

I know that Hackers is not a great film but it's one of those movies I can't help but like. The plot is mediocre. The writing is bad. The acting overall ranges from average to bad. Fisher Stevens however is just god awful. With this said, I have seen this movie about 40 times. Why? I have know idea. I guess it's just fun to watch. We all have our guilty pleasures and this film is one of mine.
