Review of Blackhat (2015) by Theoffice — 25 Jan 2015

I found the movie a little slow at times. The story was pretty cool once you got into it but I can see how your typical moviegoer who doesn't have the slightest understanding of this kind of stuff would get lost.

I'm no computer expert but if you at least follow the basic news and know about malware you can easily understand it. I think my main issue was that the actors didn't seem too into the scenes (very laid back about the circumstances around them) and that the plot makes you think the stakes for finding the villian are very large until you get towards the end and figure it out.

And finally it just felt a little drawn out. Honestly though it was still overall fun to watch. The story is different and mostly interesting so that alone I think is good enough reason to at least rent it.
