Reviews
"This isn't about money.
This isn't about politics. I can target anyone, anything, anywhere." After
a terror attack hits a Chinese factory it is tracked to a malware attack. When
it is found that parts of the code were written by Nick Hathaway (Hemsworth) he
is brought in to help find the attacker. With his freedom on the line he must
now work with the FBI in order to track down the cyber terrorist before they
strike again, and execute a more horrific attack. Michael Mann is a very
interesting director. Unlike most directors he assumes the audience can catch
up to what is happening and doesn't treat us like we are incapable of figuring
out the plot without exposition after exposition. He uses technical language
throughout this movie, but as you watch you can figure out what is happening. I
really appreciate that. As for the movie itself it is tense and exciting.
Michael Mann has done movies like, The Insider, Heat, Collateral, and Miami
Vice and this movie has the feel of those. Deliberately paced and tense with
enough intrigue to keep you guessing. This is a good movie that I liked, but
not something I think I would watch again. Overall, If you a fan of Michael
Mann you will enjoy this. I give it a B.
