Michael Manns Blackhat pits Chris Hemsworth against cyberterrorists.
How doesBlackhatgo so wrong, so fast?
But ironically, that initial imagery might be the most exciting thing about the entire picture.
Blackhats problems start with its characters.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that Mann has absolutely nothing to say about cyber-terrorism or security.
But thatsBlackhatin a nutshell: poorly conceived and executed from start to finish.
Even the unveiling of the villain in the end is a major huh?
while his scheme is something that any decent Bond baddie would reject.
All this raises the final and biggest question: what has happened to Michael Mann?
He needs to reassess his approach to filmmaking from the ground up.
If I could send it to a recycling bin, I would.
