“Blackhat”: Hack Job About Hacking
THR says: ‘A hacker plot of spectacular malevolence propels “Blackhat,” Michael Mann’s alternately heart-pounding and disappointingly dry new thriller,’ starring Chris Hemsworth (pictured). Variety opines: ‘The world’s gone blurry in “Blackhat,†a surprisingly inelegant yet breathlessly up-to-the-minute thriller — as well as a newfangled “Eastern,†strategically set mostly in China, Indonesia and Malaysia — in which the FBI recruits an incarcerated hacker to help thwart an international cyber-terrorist.’
