Review of Blackhat (2015) by Djnicey — 23 Feb 2015

I was looking forward to this movie and thought it might have a niche appeal that resulted in the low scores, but unfortunately its just a very average film. The pacing is glacial, it takes too long for the story and the characters to develop and there is no urgency to catch the perpetrators, I thought the ending wasn't a very satisfactory conclusion to the plot and thought a lot of potential had been wasted. I won't go in to the plot holes and inconsistencies as you have to suspend your reasoning for these type of films.

There were some gripping parts in the film, and it is certainly watchable, but its really a straight-to-DVD title and nothing special.
