Finn S Oct 22, 2018 A '90s all-star ensemble spy drama that makes plenty of humor, well-done cinematography, and tech-based set pieces a part of its blueprint, while just throwing in the usual plot points in the genre for good measure. See more

Poe W Aug 13, 2018 For how thin and conventional the plot is, how simple and straightforward the direction, how breezy and smooth the dialogue, how familiar and passé the soundtrack, the effect of the truly all-star is in the end quite wonderfully weird. If you were to tell someone that Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley star as rival super hackers, or that David Strathairn plays a blind computer wiz-at the dawn of the digital age, nonetheless-the movie they would imagine would never be this brisk, this enjoyable, and this agreeable. (Of course, if you had told me that Aykroyd played a conspiracy nut-well, that I would believe in a heartbeat.) Ultimately, what the movie lacks in actual risk taking it more than makes up for in charismatic performances, snappy screenwriting, and a sense of fun aided by a light directorial touch, making for a minor gem that holds up better than most tech-centered films from the same time period, in part because it doesn't take the tech (or itself) so seriously.

Abraham S Jun 25, 2018 One of my favorite 90's movies. What a cast! This movie is definitely worth a rental. You won't be disappointed but you have to go into the 90's mind frame to really appreciate it. See more

Kylo L Jul 31, 2017 In my Top 40 Movies of All Time. Cast is stellar, script is unique, Fun, shocking, exiting, relevant.

Theodore R Jul 17, 2017 Very good movie. While much of the plot does feel predictable, there's still a sense of originality and fun throughout as the characters all feature unique and compelling features, the direction is stylish and the performances are all great, especially Redford, Strathairn, Aykroyd and Poitier.

Rey G Jan 31, 2017 Loved this movie on the day it was released (yup, actually saw it in the theatres in Palo Alto), and still love it to this day. This should be "a must see" movie for anyone who thinks hacking is easy, or that old timers had it "easy" in the good old days. See more
