Blackhat: This movie from director Michael Mann about a convicted hacker (Chris Hemsworth) brought out to stop another evil hacker wasnt very good at all. The movie went straight to DVD internationally, after a feeble run here in the US, so that tells you how weak it was. It clocked in a bit over two hours, if they edited it a bit tighter, I think it could have been salvaged.
nice film, not quite james bond, not quite a comedy.
couple of the characters could have easily have been omitted without being missed. Samuel l jackson added cheese which, without him would have made the film a notch of two higher in my ratings. I found him just a bit too OTT, a calmer villian would have suited the film better.
I enjoyed it, but its not going in the books as a classic. I liken it to ' league of extraordinary gentlemen'.
The Seventh Son: An enjoyable lightweight popcorn flick that mined the same vein as "Dragonslayer". My 9 yr old really enjoyed it, I thought it had pretty good special effects and a weak storyline. One note: Jeff Bridges has been using the same vocal inflection in every movie since "True Grit"
That movie is great for all ages. I love it when they shoot that bug bomb, and the whole floor collapses. And all of the Christopher Walken scenes are great.
