I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I can watch this movie any time, and I have. It's now 2018, and it's just as enjoyable as it was when released. Suspense. Intrigue. Humor. Doesn't hurt that it features some of my favorite actors. Love this movie. I own it, so I can watch it any time. But there's something great about finding it on a channel when you weren't expecting it. Watch it again? Sure.

This movie is indeed fun, bolstered by some really strong performances, that of Strathairn, the much lost Phoenix, and the much underused Poitier, while I did like Ackroyd's hairdo. Steered by not the strongest performer, though Redford had a very natural flair for the role, he plays a genius and still wanted hacker who becomes embroiled in the past, when he's called upon/forced to steal this black box, and deliver it to the CIA. Complications do arise for him and his impressive team of counterparts, when they make a second attempt, where Redford's first solo one fails. Definitely thrilling and intriguing, as far as the hacking angle goes, I'll give you that, but really, when it comes down to it, the film doesn't really add up to anything special sitting between good and ordinary. Kingsley is great as always as Redford's betrayed hacker friend, now a nemesis, while Macdonell, adds sexy appeal as the lone female co star.

Some of the technology may have changed, but this is still one of the most accurate hacker movies I've ever seen. There are some movies that I go back to watch repeatedly, and this is one of them.The writing is very well done. The movie rightfully illustrates the still huge vulnerabilities of social engineering. The ersatz NSA character's line about how his agency is not chartered for domestic surveillance...oh, the irony!The cast is excellent, and the soundtrack is original and enhances the moods of the scenes.Direction and editing are well-done too. Hence my 10-star rating.

All-star cast, but so-so script and direction.Plot sounded interesting enough - civilians get hired by the NSA to hack the research of a potential Russian scientist. However, almost from the start it lacks focus. Too many silly scenes and dialogue.Throw in a plot that isn't entirely watertight, or plausible, and things go off course pretty quickly. Direction is far from solid, too. Things don't always make sense, or follow properly.It has its moments though. The game of high-stakes espionage was interesting at times.All-star cast mostly give solid performances. However, Ben Kingsley is badly miscast as the bad guy. The role seemed so beneath him, especially as he gets to be a stereotypical Bond-type villain, and has to put on a fake, barely believable, New York accent.
