United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie is smart and entertaining, then, as long as you don't take the computer stuff very seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | ReelViews | "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" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Reader | "Without being any sort of miracle, this is an engaging and lively exploitation fantasy-thriller" | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "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." | NEU |
United States | The New Yorker | "The story is negligible, but it offers the same order of fun as a good rock video" | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "Though this scheme involves loads of important data, it manages to sound dopey all the same." | NEG |
United States | Variety | "There is a great deal more style than substance here" | NEU |
