EARLY HACKER MOVIE...LIKE HIGH-TOP CHUCKS...HAS WORN WELL...FUN ALL-STAR ROMP...BLENDS SUSPENSE & COMEDY
9 August 2021
It's Always been Troublesome When Movies are Wrapped Around Computer Technology Usually with Disastrous Results. Mainly Because the Tech and Know-How Changes so Rapidly that the Movies are Usually "Dated" Out-of-the-Box.

Although this Star-Studded Movie Does, Now and Then, Show its Age.

Usually it's for Brief Moments and Really Doesn't Impair the Overall Plot and Machinations that the Hackers Employ.

What Helps Immensely is the Light-Touch that the Film Maintains from the Get-Go.

Everybody's in on the Fun Immediately and the Movie Flows and Glows with Outstanding Characters, a Witty Script, and Good-Looking, Spunky Images.

Despite the Big-Cast and Big-Budget and Marketed as Cutting-Edge Computer Stuff, it Fizzled at the Box-Office and Received Luke-Warm Reviews.

The Movie has Gained a Cult Following Since.

A Welcome Change-of-Pace for the Spy Genre and is One that can be Enjoyed by the Whole Family with its Soft PG-13 Rating.
