Critics' reviews

"The movie is smart and entertaining, then, as long as you don't take the computer stuff very seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"This film won't bore the average viewer. However, when Hackers has been dissected, what's uncovered beneath the flashy skin is an old-fashioned, film-by-numbers thriller"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Without being any sort of miracle, this is an engaging and lively exploitation fantasy-thriller"

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"Want a believable plot or acting? Forget it. But if you just want knockout images, unabashed eye candy and a riveting look at a complex world (...) "Hackers'' is one of the most intriguing movies of the year."

Peter Stack: SFgate
"The story is negligible, but it offers the same order of fun as a good rock video"

The New Yorker
"Though this scheme involves loads of important data, it manages to sound dopey all the same."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"There is a great deal more style than substance here"

Joe Leydon: Variety
