Blackhat [Blu-ray] [2015]

Blackhat, directed by Michael Mann, may have bombed at the box office, but it's still a solid effort. After a computer virus causes a meltdown at a Chinese nuclear plant, the FBI and Chinese authorities team up with a convicted hacker (Chris Hemsworth) to find the suspect. While not as strong as Heat or Collateral, Blackhat still employs some stunning HD photography of locations in Asia and a couple of crackerjack action sequences. If you're a fan of Michael Mann, you'll enjoy Blackhat. No commentary from Mann on the disc (a real disappointment), but there are several solid short extras.

Chris Hemsworth (Thor in the Marvel movies) does a excellent acting job in this movie as a computer expert that is put into prison for hacking crimes. A computer hacker criminal is on the FBI's most wanted list and they must have a man with his skills to hunt him down. Much more complex than this simple description of the movie. Lots of actions and suspense.

Very current plot with a different twist and plenty of action. Chris Helmsworth is great along with his female Chinese counterpart. This movie is probably more truth than fiction with the ability of foreign parties to hack into US and foreign govt's facilities to extract money. Well done and worth watching.

It was a good movie and not what I anticipated but at times, I was bored. Hubby liked it but he fell asleep thru part of it. After all, when you are use to watching him in Thor, watching this character was definitely different.

Not a full action movie, but one that has some action mixed with lots of suspense and intrigue!

Personally, I liked it in sprite of the poor reviews the "critics" gave it. Sometimes, it's just good to relax and enjoy a movie instead of analyzing it.

I thought this movie was pretty good, but I did think it would be a little better. It was slow moving in some parts but overall a pretty solid movie. Its good to see Chris Hemsworth in a role other than Thor. It's definitely worth adding to your collection.

This was a very good Michael Mann movie, but at the same time typical of his work, though I thought Heat was much better. Chris Hemsworth and the rest of the cast kept you entertained. This was a good popcorn movie, that moved along nicely.
