Blackhat Muvie Review
This is a real stinker for the following reasons:
1. This "elite" hacker, Hemsworth, is an idiot. He messages the so-called terrorist with "I'm coming to get you" LOL! c'mon. No hacker does that.
2. There's some forced love between Hemsworth and some Asian chick because.....no reason at all. They may as well be strangers at a park.
3. trying to fit too many irrelevant things together makes the film lose focus
4. too much violent action for a "computer hacker" plot This
is straight-to-trash can quality.
