'Blackhat': To think Mann used his real name!

108.81.116.219

Billy Wonka

My principle homo sapien, Mel Brooks, would say this "stinks on ice". This film stunk before the first frame was shot. Chris Hemsworth is certainly making hay while his star shines and it's not his fault this mess got digitized for distribution. Imagine a hacker, built like Thor, can go anywhere in the world, grab a keyboard, and make it his bitch. That on top of a MIT-educated officer in the Chinese army being sent to USA to work on a hacking case that is causing international problems. Throw in a lot of shaky hand held, bad acting, and ridiculous actions scene. (Imagine a fire fight in an enclosed parking garage spiral ramp without ONE ricochet?)

Well, tomaters warned me but I braved it and suffered. Does Michael Mann know his ID has been stolen? Does Hemsworth know his career has been seriously compromised? Is Red Hat going to sue Blackhat?

I will see this film, it is the (very near) future!
Hemsworth is a blond Lou Ferrigno. Actually, in pumping iron, - tinear 08:27:00 01/19/15 (5)
Lou may have exhibited more emotion.
- Hemsworth type-casted himself as Thor, and that's all anyone will see. - free.ranger 19:55:48 01/20/15 (4)
  As much as I like him in that Avengers role, I can't envision him in any other.
  Shatner hated Kirk for a long time.
  - Well, Shatner didn't exactly have a higher side, did he? It would take a mighty big hog to have - tinear 14:46:02 01/21/15 (3)
    more ham than that guy.
    - Catch Galaxy Quest for a good send up of Star Trek & Shatner's insufferable (allegedly) real life personality - Road Warrior 07:29:34 01/22/15 (2)
      If you choose to watch it, ignore Tony Shaloub's beyond awful performance. On the other hand, his performance, being one of the worst acting jobs in history IMHO, might be worth an analytical view on its own.

        Totally understandable but I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't know Sam Rockwell - Road Warrior 19:09:34 01/22/15 (0)

        from Adam at the time, but he did a bang up job in making a small part one of the movie's best parts.
