What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thematically timely but dramatically inert, Blackhat strands Chris Hemsworth in a muddled misfire from director Michael Mann.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire This is not a film about tight plotting or slam-bang action, but about style. Pure, hypnotic, mesmerizing style. May 30, 2016 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) It's not very good. Some of it, in fact, is downright awful. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2015 Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) A square-jawed, furrowed-browed, altogether joyless film, with a hero to match ... Rated: 2/5 Feb 22, 2015 Full Review Don Shanahan Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast Michael Mann and Chris Hemsworth are not an idea match for this project and material. Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed ... the film has surprisingly aged quite [...] This one has a strong script and directing that is as expected from Mann, directing that works, knows how to get the results needed, and has a bit of flare. Rated: 4/5 Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies "Blackhat" is a movie built around a good idea and strengthened by some fantastic pulse-pounding action. But ultimately it sinks due to its tiresome, long-winded story. Even the ever likable Chris Hemsworth can't help it. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

"That's all I've got to say about that" - Bubba D 3.8/10 Don't Think I'll FInish It Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Keith As a recent entrant into the crypto investment industry, I was lured into a fake crypto investment scam that resulted in the loss of 3.1 BTC, valued at 238,700 at the time. I had unwittingly invested in a fraudulent platform, believing it to be the legitimate FTX trading platform. The scammers manipulated me into sending multiple Bitcoin transactions to their wallet address. When their site was shut down, all communication attempts proved futile. The experience left me devastated and ill for weeks. However, my assistant introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a renowned expert in Bitcoin and crypto recovery. After researching their credentials online, I was convinced of their genuineness and trustworthiness. Morphohack's team conducted a thorough investigation and recovery process, tracing and retrieving my stolen Bitcoin. Despite some losses to the blockchain network, I recovered 2.9 BTC, valued at 229,100 at the time. Morphohack's success was a surprise, as I had thought crypto recovery was impossible.
