    There was this one time Hackers started playing on the TV while Tim and I were arguing. Both of us wanted to watch it so bad that we just dropped the argument entirely so we could watch it. I don’t even remember what the hell we were arguing about. Hackers can save a…

    Watching this I’m more certain than ever that 1995 was the peak of fashion, music, cinema, and just human civilization in general

    Outdated? Sure. But this movie is a 90s nostalgia bomb that hits like a drug. For all its errors, it’s still somehow flawless. Rewatchability is disturbingly high.

    6.8 This movie was so 90s, I loved the vibe. The story is pretty basic and the movie itself wasn’t anything too crazy, but it was enjoyable and funny at times

    4/10 As expected the tech was dated (floppy disc remember them). Story was ok although the baddies were corny. On the plus side the sound track was great.

    Der 90er vibe war sehr deutlich in dem Film und das der war auch ganz nett zuschauen, nur dachte ich mir manchmal was Gerdas eigentlich abgeht. 🤨

    As ridiculous as you’d anticipate a movie about hacking made in 1995 would be. Crazy nonsensical visuals. Cool to see Lillard and Jolie.

    Matthew Lillard amplifies any movie he's in. It was interesting seeing Angelina Jolie in an early role as well.

Jolie, the daughter of Jon Voight, and Miller, a British newcomer, bring a particular quality to their performances that is convincing and engaging.

A lot of attention has gone into the film's video games, computer imagery and costumes, to the point where simply watching these artifacts is half the fun...But eventually Hackers turns tedious, perhaps not realizing that an audience can get tired of the same old equations floating in cyberspace.

There's not a slowly-paced scene or a dull moment to be found. If nothing else, this film won't bore the average viewer. However, when Hackers has been dissected, what's uncovered beneath the flashy skin is an old-fashioned, film-by-numbers thriller.
