Review of Sneakers (1992) by Jim H — 18 Jul 2011
A team of hackers must steal a mysterious black box.
At the time, before the Internet became as ubiquitous as it is, this must have seemed cutting edge and revolutionary. Today, it doesn't play as well and must rely on the strength of its cast, which, on first glance, promises to be quite good. But midway through the film, I got the feeling that these were just actors having fun being actors. What results is a fairly basic thriller/comedy, and while it's entertaining, in the words of one critic, "There's precious little that will stay with you.".
Overall, Sneakers is a decent way to waste two hours, but don't go looking for anything more than light-hearted entertainment.
