I actually like:
This is absolute bullshit.
Audience score is currently 68%.
Tomato score is 31% proving that the reviews that constitute the tomato score are crap.
What!? Hackers at 31%? The one with young Angelina Jolie? The critics gotta be some uncultured swine. That movie was gold! It was The Matrix type of cool before The Matrix. It put the punk part into cyberpunk for a lot of kids.
Also its a bad influence: Got kids inspired to learn about phreaking and phone systems.
Sure did. I totally tried recording sounds of the coins dropping in. Never worked but I was too young to know why.
Who doesn't like Hackers?! It's fantastic! I've never heard a bad word about it.
HACK THE PLANET!
Hackers, absolute gold! People like to crap all over it because it's not realistic, but the vibe of it really fits the hacking scene. Another similar movie, that has some pretty cool hacking vibe, but people also crap all over is Swordfish, 26% tomatoes, 59% audience.
almost no movie has realistic hacking, but i always thought "Hackers" was pretty spot on (for example with the phone phreaking, social engineering). When i think about movies with unrealistic hacking scenes the following come to mind:
Yeah. There's so many bad hacking movies.
To me, the worst offender is the pocket sized brute force device that displays one character at a time as it figures out a door passcodes.
That said, a surprisingly high quality hacker movie is "Sneakers".
