A Movie made by Hacks and it Shows. Pretty-Boy Ryan Phillippe is Miscast as a Geek Computer Genius and is Blown Off the Screen anytime He Shares a Scene with Tim Robbins, a Grotesquely Exaggerated "Bill Gates" Type.Forced Melodramatics and a TV Tone, this Film Flopped, not because it didn't Ask some Timely Questions, but because it is just a Bad Movie. Not an Awful Movie but in Total, Pretty Bad.Nothing seems Believable, everything is Overdone, the Acting is Atrocious (except Robbins), the Writing is Bland and Boring, and most of the Action and Suspense takes place on a Computer Screen or a Keyboard, and a Half-Second after the Movie was Released it was Technologically Dated.Glaring Corporated Product Placement is Hypocritical Hubris and works Against the Anti-Corporate Message, and On and On. Bordering on Silly, Nothing much Resonates in the Heavy Scenario and the Ending is Predictable Fluff. Not as Bad as "The Net" (1995) as these things go. But Barely Achieves Average or Worth a Watch Status. Recommended but only as a Snapshot for what passed for Hollywood's Lack of Insight on the Subject and some "Real Life" Headline Grabbing from the Early 2000's.

I don't like this movie because it highlights ideas that threaten to put big companies and advertisers out of business.Advertisers and companies shouldn't be held to the same ethical standards as everyone else. We make more money than average citizens and should have a measure of immunity from being accused of stuff like this. Like Google's CEO alluded to, people should get over the fact that they're being exploited. We make too much money to simply throw in the towel now. Corporations and their henchmen have to make money somehow, even if it means crossing some boundary lines. The common people should accept their chains of bondage and stop expecting so much all the time.

To be honest when I stuck this on one evening, it was to just put something on in the background. I actually found myself keeping track of what was going on, but not through paying much attention to the storyline. It was by guessing what was happening as it tends to follow pretty much the same storyline as The Firm (The John Grisham one, not the cockney git one). Basically, computer dude gets his dream job and is getting along great guns with Bill Gates until he finds out he's evil so he goes about trying to expose his crimes and bring him down.It's horribly predictable all throughout. I was cooking during the first twenty minutes, but my mate had been watching it from the start. I did not miss out on anything in the storyline. I kind of assumed who everyone was and what had already happened. Very obvious that Ryan Phillipe's mate is going to get killed when he tells him it's good to hear from him again, even though he is working for their enemy.The best part of the film was noticing that the three main henchmen who carry out the murders and stuff on behalf of the Bill Gates type character (Tim Robbins) are called Schmeichel, Sheringham and Solskjaer. Seriously, that was the most entertaining part.I would say, as usual, that watch it with a pinch of salt and a few beers and it'll be a good laugh, but it's not. This is a film trying to be good and for that reason I did not enjoy it. If it at least starting taking the mick out of itself, I would've had a good laugh.The two birds are pretty hot, but I cant help but feel disappointed that he doesn't get off with either of them. The quality of this film could have been vastly improved if there were some breasts on display. A major disappointment.I was astonished to see that the average rating for this piece of work was 6/10. I am currently in the middle of watching the Tourist whilst watching this and it only got 5.9/10, and it has Timothy Dalton in it! (Something that immediately warrants a 10/10 rating in my book - he certainly is tenacious)

This movie is best hackers movie. If you liked Hackers 1 and Hackers 2 movies you'll love this one. Exceptional. Characters acts very very well.I'm disappointed because of the votes. This movie must be at least 7.0 :((((((. I love this film and it has a lot of fans. We want a sequel or prequel. Is good than Social Network. I didn't like it. Antitrust also is directed very well is not a B movie. Ryan Fellipe acts very well. Tim Robbins performance is awesome. He looks like Bill Gates also his house. The garage reminds me Steve Jobs and Wozniak's garage. In movie Gary Winston says "Bill Gates is primitive ".I hope that will be another one. 10/10
