Furloughed convict, Nick Hathaway, joins the FBI in a case to hunt down the criminal controlling a RAT (Remote Access Tool) "blackhat". Nick must work with American and Chinese associates, and travel to various regions of the world, to hunt down this criminal.
This film was directed by Michael Mann. This films tries to make a technological thriller into a fast paced thriller. It even features a known action star as its title character. However, to make a story like this believable you cannot turn it into an action thriller. Particularly, when the technical jargon that is used to explain this film is wrong. Hackers do not have heroic fights. This film also generates a lack of character relationships. None of the characters provide a bond that will make audiences feel for them. To make it worse, there isn't enough build to hate the villains. The main villain's henchmen is more hated, and that's only because he got more screen time. To make it worse, it feels like cheap writing was used to create shortcuts in the story. Chris Hemsworth played the role of Nick Hathaway. He was decent in the role, but seemed to lack any real motivation. Wei Tang played the role of Chen Lien. She was a good supporting actress for Hemsworth, but felt like the most useless character in the film. Leehom Wang played the role of Chen Dawai. He was good as a secondary supporting role-even though he didn't really stand out.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! Its poorly written and standard acting hurt this film.
It can be seen on DVD.
Answer to last blog: Director Jaco Van Dormael, Mr. Nobody, directed the film The Eight Day.
