"ACID BURN SEZ LEAVE B 4 U R EXPLUNGED"... Line of Angelina to Jonny Lee on their first encounter. It's one of my 90's movies that I really really like.
Extremely cheesy, and the majority of the computer stuff they did in the movie was complete bull $h!t, especially flying through the Gibson information city, or whatever the crap that was. Even with all its flaws though, I somehow thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting actually wasn't too terrible for the most part, and I just love anything to do with computers, gaming, etc.
entertaining if not totally plausible...pulsating techno soundtrack to boot...male/female leads deliever..nice action.humor and suspense mix...you dont have to be a computer geek to appreciate
i rewatched it recently, yeah it's cool. plus, i recognized Marc Anthony among the police officers, it made me laugh.watch it and you'll understand what i mean
early jolie role, in a daft computer hacker film, about a group of misfits up against a business man, and new guy played by johny lee miler, getting into a mes, as a former hacker, being tempted back into the game
I cannot put into words how awesome this movie is. I think this is one of the best movies about technology there is.. but it is not something I owuld watch over and over again.
One of the finest comedies ever. Super sexy popular computer hackers that have lots of rave parties hack the Gibson (and the planet for that matter) with their bitchin' 28.8bps modems. Dr. Melfi and Bunk Moreland make appearances.
Wow. I'd never seen this movie before since it looked so ridiculous. Even in 1995 I could tell how woefully inaccurate the tech speak was and how dumb the story would be.
But, you know, it's actually very entertaining. The dialogue is frequently embarrassing ("he's elite!", "I added more RAM and it's 3 times faster than a Pentium!") and several characters are annoying. But, once you get over that it's a fun little movie with a great soundtrack (The Prodigy, Leftfield, Underworld, Orbital) and a neat way to waste time.
I'm not the type of reviewer to bandy the word "classic" about, as if it were some frivolous term used to describe the latest expensive Hollywood claptrap. But "Hackers", director Ian Softley's documentary on the ravages of adult bulimia, is a class...(read more)ic in every sense of the word, and it inspires like nothing I've seen since Erroll Morris' biopic of environmental crusader Al Gore, "The Toxic Avenger." Mr. Softley wisely backs away from his material, and allows his characters to tell their own stories of the mental and physical anguish resulting from their sicknesses. Case in point the following quote from transgendered IP tech Angelina Jolie, heartbreaking in its elegant simplicity: "I don't wear dresses." I applaud Mr. Softly on his decision to tackle such a difficult and heart-wrenching subject, and I expect nothing but brilliance from his upcoming film "K-PAX."
