Arriving at the tail end of Hollywood's naive fascination with the imaginary lifestyle of the underworld’s most glamorous hackers, this is an utterly ludicrous daydream without even the hint of a connection to reality. It's loaded with stars - Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and John Travolta (of all people) take the leads, with supporting shots from Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones - but abysmally acted and thoroughly stiff, narrow and postured. The plot stabs in all directions without hitting anything substantial, more wrapped up in looking cool than going anywhere, and has its priorities so far out of whack that it actually expects the audience to deify the same character that's shown casually slaughtering dozens of innocents in the very first scene. As vapid, cheesy, overindulgent mind-numbers go, it's a real jewel.

>"You're fucking up my chi." This movie was made by a music video director and it shows. Everything screams "Look at me! I am edgy and the new era of hackers is here!" That is not to say it doesn't have it's moments. Travolta feels like Face/Off Travolta, and Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry are good together.

This feels very 90s. The cheesy hacking scenes, the music, the hair styles. But hey, we get to see Halle Berry's tits. So it has that going for it.

Decent action flick with some ridiculous "hacker" sequences!

Seriously, what were they thinking when they styled Travolta's hair in this movie??
