April 20, 2012Hackers is hi-LAR-ious because of the way it portrays the Internet. The hacking duels between Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie are at once ridiculous and kinda sexy. A LOT of fun.

October 16, 2011Attempted glamorisation of New York teen hackers fighting corporate greed comes off as a bit too cheeky. All racial stereotypes are represented though ...

July 19, 2011I can objectively say that Hackers is a badly-dated, ridiculous piece of crap that's pure camp to anyone that's ever used a computer. BUT... I had fun watching it. Most of the characters were ridiculous and between Fisher Stevens' egotistical geek and Lorraine Bracco's Jewish mot... read more

March 13, 2010I like a movie that tries to make nerds look like extreme raver rebels. Or DO I!?

January 18, 2010Such a bizarre and dated 90s movie, but that's where most of the fun comes from. It's just such an outlandish plot that it draws you in. I think the real intrigue of the movie lies in Angelina Jolie, who had such a memorable and unique character. I think everyone should at least ... read more

This film is geared towards a teen audience, but has elements most can identify with as computers have become such ... read more -

Though this scheme involves loads of important data, it manages to sound dopey all the same. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
To its credit, Hackers recalls the pumped-up energy of Pump Up the Volume, as well as its casting prowess.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Tirelessly modish, hyper-glossy, super-superficial. It's also cacophonous. And, for all of its drum-beating for brain power, dumb. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is well directed, written and acted, and while it is no doubt true that in real life no hacker could do what the characters in this movie do, it is no doubt equally true that what hackers ca... Full Review

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
What it lacks in substance and plausibility it makes up in inventive imagery and deft shadings of a world of scheming cyberpunks. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
What's uncovered beneath the flashy skin is an old-fashioned, film-by-numbers thriller. Full Review

Caroline Westbrook, Empire Magazine
A plot thinner than an LCD monitor doesn't prevent the bombastic fun, and the young cast help it hurtle along. Full Review
