Blackhat
Thought that this was just okay, the story was nothing special & pretty much all of the characters were either under written or generic.
On a slightly more positive note it definitely looked/felt like a Michael Mann film and it has to be said there were at least a couple of set pieces that were very decent indeed.
Overall it's an entertaining but ultimately quite forgettable dramatic thriller so it only gets a 6/10 from me...

Re: Blackhat
I thought this was pretty uneventful. There seemed a lot of promise with the initial story etc. but nothing seemed to really happen and it really didn't make much sense.RAZORBACK wrote:

Quite a disappointment actually as the plot seemed really interesting.
Unlike yourself, I really didn't enjoy the Michael Mann touch... reminded me a lot of Miami Vice in the style in which it was shot.
4/10 for me...

Re: Blackhat
horrible dark dull up until the last half hour, which was pretty tense...but that's ruined by the terrible ending scenes.

Re: Blackhat
Me and a friend wanted to go to the last Orange Weds and there wasn't much choice so we ended up seeing this. I quite enjoyed it! It was predictable and rather daft but I thought it was entertaining enough.

Re: Blackhat
just felt too gray and monotone for a 2 hour film for me.
