Hacker

Honestly, I got 16 mins into the movie and stopped, I couldn't do it. It just want so poorly scripted and acted that I couldn't bare to watch another moment of it. I was excited to see another movie about hackers thinking it would be pretty good, but this was just nonsense. I will never get that 16 mins of my life back.

This movie is actually much better than the other reviews here say. Don't get me wrong, it's not really a good movie, and a lot of what people are saying is true: the plot is both nonsensical and predictable, the performances are uneven to say the least, and the whole thing sometimes veers into unintentional comedy. What the movie gets right though is good pacing, well done action scenes (albeit only two, very brief, ones), and a charming lead in Haylie Duff, a much better actress then her career so far requires or would imply. So not some sort of hidden gem or future cult classic, but a perfectly pleasant watch.

The plot gets more and more convoluted the longer the movie runs. In 1992 there was no internet in the home yet Dad is doing something to discover people doing things around the world. Impossible. Things just weren't done that way were they? Whatever. So young Hailey sits down to "have a go". Like she could do anything at all. Whatever!? They are going to murder someone. How long does it take to murder someone and why is it all laid out online? How does she happen to stumble upon it? The movie gets really preachy and ridiculous the further it goes. Why is anyone talking to her and her dad about anything. It's just an abortion of a film. The acting is good, the production is good, it's a good movie just that it's a really bad script and story.

For not being a comedy, this was top tier. Hilarious from start to finish. If you are having a bad day put this movie on. Hilarious twists and turns. Terrible acting. Awful plot. I recommend this film. My mother and I cannot stop laughing. Amazing.

This movie was hard to finish because it was one of those that you regret starting and wish you had never even started in the first place. It was bad all the way around, fake acting and plenty of plot holes you could drive a truck though. I already do not like Duff so that could possibly be a factor. I have seen good Indy films but this was just not one! Duff was believable as a hacker as much as Angelina Jolie was a fireman in the movie "Those Who Wish Me Dead". This movie was a joke! She would be more believable in a sad movie because her fake expressions and just plastered on her face! I do not recommend this movie at all. Try The Best Offer (2013) or Black Butterfly (2017) Those are worth your time.
