Movie review - "Blackhat" (2015) **1/2 (warning: spoilers) (re-viewing)

 Gave this another go. It looks great. Love the locations. I assume the technology stuff is accurate ish. Fantastic fights - knife fights and action. Love how everyone stands around looking cool with sunglasses.

It's flabby. No sense of urgency. I guess there is when Hemsworth is on the run. The girl character could be cut out of the movie in terms of story. Really she should've been combined with her brother. 

The most effective bit is when the rest of the team get wiped out leaving Hemsworth and the girl alone.

I like the actor who played the main villain - actually I like all the actors. Climax in Indonesia is different.

It doesn't work but it's interesting.
