Format: DVD
Asgardian wunderkind Chris Hemsworth plays a less showy (but equally intense) role as a cyber-criminal released from prison on license to aid in the hunt for the perpetrator of a cyber-sunk Chinese nuclear facility. Michael Mann’s style is a very clinical one, whereby action scenes have a savage intensity and plenty of realism, but where romance can seem perfunctory and stilted. Still, Hemsworth’s forte is playing muscled action-men, and he does so with aplomb here, linking-up with Chinese agent (and of course, his former uni room-mate) Chen Dawai (played by Wang Leehom), and speedily falling in love with Dawai’s sister Lien (Wei Tang).
The movie feels very much like an exercise in high-end action, with Hemsworth lightweight when it comes to delivering dialogue, but top-notch when beating-up goons or hurtling across the tarmac in pursuit of something or other; Mann utilizes as much as he can in the way of speedboats, choppers, jets, and even a subway train, resulting in a film that veers from frenzied keyboard-tapping to explosive gun battles and car chases, ultimately it’s style over substance but what style!

With its uninspired trailer and poor (to date) critical reception I had fairly low expectations for "Blackhat" and watched it only out of loyalty to Michael Mann, who is one of my favourite directors. I'm glad to report then that my initial gut feelings about the movie were proved entirely wrong.

As ever with Mann's films, the cinematography is stunning (and in "Blackhat" is in globe-spanning locations) and is worth seeing for this alone. The visual aspect of some scenes made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - a long time since a film has done that to me. Script-wise and plot-wise, some of it seems to be partially re-hashed from previous MM pictures - it steals bits, both visually and also dialogue-wise, from at least some of the following: "Collateral", "Heat", "Miami Vice" and "Manhunter". However there are lots of original bits too. One minor annoyance - which is surprisingly kept to a minimum: you know how every time in Hollywoodland when someone goes near a computer, it goes "beedly-beedly beep"? A noise that no computer (least of all those used by the FBI and CIA, one imagines) has ever, ever made involuntarily? Well you would hope that a director of Michael Mann's originality could get around that - well, he does in some parts but not in others. Maybe the producers asked him to up the beep quota so that half-wits and old ladies would know that THIS IS A COMPUTER.

Cast-wise Chris Hemsworth and Wei Tang mainly appear to be there for their looks whereas John Ortiz and Viola Davis are under-used.

The plot - loosely speaking - about cyber crime isn't one to inspire off the page but seeing the film helps, as does an interest in the subject matter.

Another inexplicable film that begs the questions "how badly did he need the money?" (Chris Hemsworth) and "how low can the director fall?" (Michael Mann). The idea is decent enough (an intricate sequence of hacking crimes unravelled by a convicted hacker who gets to walk free if he helps the law, if they don't turn tables on him first). But that's where the good stuff ends. The acting is so lazy as to be nonexistent. It's like a script read-through session where one actor reads lines without actually acting, as a prompt to another actor. Except everyone is like that. And there is a lot of really nonsensical dialogue. You end up caring not a JOT about anyone, even when they die. The storytelling is pretty confusing, there's a constant irritation of having to rethink the last 20 seconds to figure out why people suddenly end up wherever they are. The film also tries to do its IT stuff seriously but it somehow comes off as a bunch of utter gibberish and nonsense, which makes this film even more exasperating. The filming quality also strongly feels like a TV episode. In summary, I watched it on a streaming service, and it still felt like a waste of money and time!

This is a film directed by Michael Mann, the Director of “Heat”, so I thought I knew what to expect. To some extent, I was correct. There was lots of action, a couple of lengthy shooting outs and, of course, masses of violence. However, as another reviewer put it very aptly, “something went very wrong somewhere.” As others have mentioned, the film will a terrible “flop” and, although it is entertaining, it is not too hard to see why.

First, there is the somewhat problematic plot in what is essentially a mix between a “traditional” action film and a techno-thriller. A hacker attacks a nuclear power plant in China for mysterious reasons, before creating a panic on the financial futures market for soya and making a tidy packet in the process. The targeting of the nuclear plant is perhaps supposed (at least that’s what I guessed!) to make you think of Fukushima while the financial market manipulation hints rather broadly at various and multiple scandals, frauds and dodgy behaviours that have surfaced since 2008 in a number of these markets. The problem here is that while the sensational effects are good, you also need to suspend belief to buy into the story. Neither nuclear plants nor financial markets are, fortunately, as “easy” to hack into as suggested in the film. Both have various protections that are not even alluded to although this does not make them invulnerable.

To counter the menace, the Chinese and American government get together, form a joint team to go “hunting down the baddies” and release from a US prison one Nicholas Hathaway, a celebrity among hackers. Here again, there are some stereotypes at play.
