Critics Consensus

Hackers has a certain stylish appeal, but its slick visuals and appealing young cast can't compensate for a clichéd and disappointingly uninspired story.

Hackers isn't a very good movie, but it's a darn sight more fun than The Net.

After the mechanics of the thriller plot start to kick in, the film drags. And when it's time for the big cyber-showdown, we're stuck, once again, with footage of frantic typing.

1.5/4

This is a movie that sums up the worst of the computer era: zapping you with techno-cliches and trapping you in constant visual crash and burn.

A-

It's not a picture for cynics, requiring some relaxation while Softley explores old tech and cartoon personalities, but it's a vibrant feature that's superbly executed, making for an entertaining sit for those willing to go along with it.

Cutting-edge ideas can’t quite compensate for a banal storyline.

🎬 Hackers: Piratas de Computador (1995) Lançado em 1995, com 1h45min de duração, Hackers é um retrato estilizado e quase psicodélico da cultura digital nascente, dirigido por Iain Softley. No elenco principal temos Jonny Lee Miller como Dade "Zero Cool" Murphy, o prodígio que aos 11 anos derrubou sistemas e se tornou uma lenda underground; Angelina Jolie como Kate "Acid Burn" Libby, em início de carreira, com uma presença magnética e a atitude rebelde do "tô nem aí"; Matthew Lillard como Cereal Killer, trazendo o alívio cômico caótico; além de Fisher Stevens como o vilão Eugene "The Plague" Belford e Lorraine Bracco como a agente que persegue os jovens hackers. O filme mistura ficção científica, crime e comédia teen, com a estética neon típica dos anos 90 e um espírito que hoje flerta com o cult e o trash. 🧠 Enredo A narrat Nota: 6,0

Despite what everyone is saying I really enjoyed this one. Definitely more interesting if you are into computing and skating, reads 80s + baby-digital era. With a super young Angelina (her first feature film?!) is just a light fun watch.

I think this movie was pretty prescient when it was made.
