just had a feeling it was going to be garbage. I'm sorry but they couldn't have casted a less convincing computer hacker then Chris Hemsworth.
IGN video review:
Mann is my favorite director, I am a fan, but not apologist, but I think anything he does is worth watching. So, yes 'Blackhat' looks a lot like 'Miami Vice' with hackers….
Reading the first reviews on RT, I think I will love it, given the critiques and content of the best reviews. One said this plays like 'Michael Mann's Greatest Hits' and I can't see that being a bad thing, to my particular taste. I think I wild end up loving this.

Watched this last night…..Like I have said, Mann is my favorite director, so I may be less then objective here….I loved 'Blackhat'. It is an absolutely beautifully filmed movie, the colors and the scenery are as much a character as anyone in the movie, Mann has few peers in terms of capturing the beauty and life of a landscape, from Los Angeles to China, and Indonesia. It is a Michael Mann movie through and through, and as one other critic said it plays a bit like a 'Mann Greatest Hits', so you have lines like 'I'm doing the time…time isn't doing me', and heartfelt, emotive conversations in dimly lit restaurants, brooding, existential criminals who stare at the ocean, pondering their fate and their role, breathless, hushed romances, characterized by the grasping of a hand, or a touch held just long enough, the weight of conscience, loyalty, and love, on a backdrop of brilliantly shot running gunfights, where automatic weapons threaten to cut away any humanity the characters strive for…..The movie echoes 'Miami Vice' most of all, with shades of 'Public Enemies' and 'Heat' at times….brutal violence against a stunning landscape of beauty, and technology.
Yes, there are unlikely elements of plot, yes there are lines in the script that aren't great..Yes, Hemsworth Hathaway's accent falters a few times, and comes across as less a hacker, but of a hybrid of all Mann's previous protagonists, no i did not really need the exposition shots wires and cords, tracing a computer signal through the labyrinth….These things don't matter. It's a movie of depth, and feeling, and real emotion. I could watch this again today, and be just as entertained as last night. I plan on seeing it again in the theater next week, honestly. I obviously see why a movie like 'American Sniper' is praised and publicized, and this goes widely unnoticed…..this is easily the stronger picture, and it is disconcerting how people would prefer 'American Sniper', in it's mundane execution and clumsy grasps at the kind of heart this movie has.
See 'Blackhat', even if you don't love it, it is interesting, compelling, thoughtful and one of a kind filmmaking on display.

This was a solid flick IMO.. the action sequences are well done especially 'that' scene with the explosion.
The movie is basically Thief, Manhunter, Heat and Miami Vice rolled into one. Lone Wolf/renegade who wants to do the right thing but has to do things his own way to get things done.

Watching this joint right now despite the AWFUL reviews. 
I did not know this was a Legendary Pictures-produced movie.
This shyt FLOPPED HARD!!! It had a budget of $70 million and only made $17.8 million in the worldwide Box Office.
Thor shanked the shyt out of nikkas in this movie. Why can't he be as gully in Avengers?
this was a terrible fukking movie...i had to delete it after i was done
