Blackhat (2015)

Complete Hacks
A tepid thriller is always difficult to watch. Especially when every decisions made by the protagonists are the absolute dumbest decisions any character can make in a movie. Being able to out think people who are supposed to be intelligent characters is taxing. So is groaning at every convenient twist and turn that Michael Mann threw in to get from one snoozer of a plot point to the next. Unfortunately, none of the performances from the actors were spectacular enough to make up for the poor script, but all of them were adequate enough to at least make them believable as human beings. Really stupid human beings. An excellent score by Atticus and Leo Ross, and Stuart Dryburgh's beautiful cinematography are about the only things worth the price of admission.
