A.C.’s Review: This
latest offering from director Michael Mann (MIAMI VICE) dives into the
world of cyber terrorism…not for political reasons but as a grandiose
scheme by bad guys
to make a ton of money by using their hacking skills to…well…it’s all
very convoluted so you’d have to see it rather than me trying to
explain.
Chris
Hemsworth-THOR himself plays a hacker recruited out of prison by the
FBI but mostly by a Chinese military officer who handles cybercrimes and
just happens
to be an old college chum of Hemsworth when the man was studying in the
US. Hemsworth is the only one with the skills enough to try and locate
the cyberterrorists. If he succeeds he will have his sentence commuted.
His
team consists of the military officer, the FBI contact (Viola Davis),
his US Marshall watchdog and of course his love interest…the sister of
his Chinese pal.
Twists
and turns prevail and not everyone lives until the final reel. The
movie got some bad reviews but I didn’t think it was all that bad. Not
memorable really
but there are worse ways to spend your money (THE GAMBLER).
Best
Scene: Several pivotal characters bite the dust in a surprise attack by
the bad guys with their rocket launcher and machine guns.
A.C.’s Rating: DVD
