Review of Blackhat

Blackhat (2015)
2/10
Substandard hacker/revenge fantasy
30 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
When I, as a completely non-technical viewer, roll my eyes at the computer folderol in a film, that's saying something. I mean, *nobody* can make sense of the hex dump of compiled code, and that's what the protagonists did all day long to advance the plot. And for an ostensible computer network designer, the romantic interest of the film never once said anything remotely related to computer networks. And sabotaging pumps in a highly visible target, like nuclear reactor, instead of a low-visibility target for a rehearsal is just moronic, something a smart bad guy just wouldn't do.

Avoid this film.
