Chris Stuckmann reviews Blackhat, starring Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom. Directed by Michael Mann.
How come Chris Hemsworth doesn't seem to be wearing a black hat in this movie?
Maybe I'm the only one but I liked Blackhat. To me it had an interesting idea and i enjoyed how it was different from other movies. I will agree that some parts could have been cut out (cgi effects with the computers and consecutive scenes with nothing but music and random events). I also thought some of the characters were like able. SPOILER ALERT when the black woman and Chinese brother die in that gun fight I was shocked and actually felt sad. Also, so what if the bad guys were just solely after money? Money drives the world and most people who perform crimes like these are all money hungry so I don't see why there needs to be another motive in this situation? I don't think it's the best movie I've ever watched but it's not the worst either, and it's not in the latter half of movies I've watched. I'd give it a B, check this movie out if you are interested in something different.
I agree with what you said and I enjoyed the movie. The only thing that seemed a bit off to me was when the police attacked the bad guys, when did Hathaway acquired the special training to keep up with the others?
I think a lot of people forget he directed The Last of the Mohicans. Epic epic!
I quite enjoyed Blackhat. It was a little too understated perhaps, but never boring. Miami Vice is the only Mann film that put me to sleep.
J Hallenbeck pleb
Luis Ultima Classist
Miami Vice might be the most polarizing movie of all time. I thought the cinematography was beautiful. Mann's movies aren't always great, but there is always a redeeming quality to be found.
I liked Jeremy Jahn's title for the movie: Asshat
Lol that's great! I knew from the trailer it was gonna be unbelievable and cheesey.
Best way to describe the Lizard Squad
I thought I’d seen the last good looking six foot four Australian playing a computer hacker.
Oh god, the villains were such a cop out. Nothing worse to me than a villain who is bad just for the sake of being bad. The mention of no political angles or demands for money made me think part of the movie would be getting to the bottom of the villain's motivatins, but nope. Money.
***** Money...Yea...Cause that totally doesn't fit with most criminals motives...
sandromnator Oh, it most certainly does. I just found the level of destruction and chaos wrought by the criminals in this to go beyond money. Seemed like it should have been personal or political.
Yo this film is one of Mann's top three. Sad that you didn't see its greatness
Yeah dude it's all subtext with this movie
I'm glad this review is different from the other ones I have seen.
The rest of them just say it's a bad movie, but you said there are some good aspects of it. So the review is a bit different from Flick's and Jeremy's reviews and I like that.
blackhat is an underrated gem. it's one of Michael Mann's best works. it incorporates all the good elements from his previous work & set them in this digital age. it's also one of few films that realistically depicts hacking.
It's good to find someone who likes blackhat according to me it is up there with collateral and heat and manhunter
I think you high for even thinking this movie is up there with heat or collateral damage
I agree, Miami Vice 2006 is also underrated gem!
This is one of the most unrealistic depictions of hacking in a movie EVER. This comment is a joke lmao
I don't know about hacking, but I do know computers don't make all these bleeping sounds when texts come on screen, always annoys the crap out of me when watching films or tv. Also, texts don't come scrolling down like they always do in films. And why do hackers never use a mouse or touchpad in films? Well, because it doesn't look cool, you'd better be typing frantically constantly if you're hacking in a film.
Having combat experience, after watching this film I can say the shootout scenes were possibly the least realistic of any major motion picture I’ve seen (that is going for realism)
The Chinese operators in first shootout are bunched together like they’re trying to keep warm almost and they’re standing in front of each other while I’m a shootout while out in the open. Sure enough one bomb kills the entire team bc of their spacing. This is like 101 stuff.
Next I was baffled when they were hiding behind shipping containers as 7.62 rounds were punching holes through them (literslly was in silouettes around each character since it was the next shootout they wanted to kill 75% of the cast not this one)
If you were anywhere and saw bullet house extremely well aimed and close to you knowing simple probability is that there is 90% chance you get hit. But no they stay there as bullet hole silhouettes are punched out around them .
The second firefight where do I begin. The Marshall who is supposed to be watching over Thor arrives to scene of shootout (literally like 10 dude firing full auto assault rifles at Thor as he hides behind a small metal barrier that’s barely big enough to fit behind. If they wanted to kill him literally all they had to do was walk up to him and kill him and if he left cover to run on approach gun him down.
During this, the marshal drives by and lands a clean headshot at like 40 mph at like 30 yards with his .45 handgun while leaning waist of outnof the car. The best Markesmen in the world would have to try just over and over to get that shot. Magically they park car somwhwre and appear on screen Marshall with black it cop lady (has no gun) Marshall opens fire although they are both just standing out in the open while 50 yards away 10 dudes with automatic rifles unload on them and they are untouched.
The Marshall lands like 5 50 yard pistol headshots in a row without missing one (literslly impossibke, especially when you can feel the lead in the air passing game you. Then he and coo lady finally get shot. When he’s shot, he gets flung back like as if he got hit by a car.
That’s not how transfer of energy works with firearms.
The final firefight which took place in a crowd.of Indonesians that didn’t have too much of a problem with dude getting screwdriver put into his temple and thugs having eachother around with guns and they don’t even stop just keep on with their parade
Y'all need to watch Thief and Manhunter. The Miami Vice-ish 80s type of Michael Mann.
Yeah Thief is great, hardly anyone mentions it when talking about his earlier films, pissed me off haha
I adore both!
Chris when are you reviewing "Inherent Vice"?
Let me start by saying I'm an avid film watcher. If I'm watching a movie, my devices are out of sight and I focus on the experience of watching a movie. I've seen Blackhat three times now, and still couldn't give you a plot synopsis. Usually it's a good thing if my brain can shut off during a movie, but this movie forces it. Characters are brought in and killed off, but I have no idea who they are or why we should care. The action is great, but without character development there's no stakes. Think about if Marvel made a movie where two CGI armies of masked aliens fought each other, but you never saw your heroes. It'd be technically impressive, but after a few minutes you'd check out.
My favorite Michael Mann film is still Collateral followed by Heat.
Despite overall bad reviews (as of now), " Blackhat" is actually very enjoyable thriller and I, for one, wasn't bored at all. Word to Michael Mann fans - Ignore naysayers, see it and make up your own mind.
+vova47 yeah I woulda liked this video if the guy wasn't trying to 'plug his buddies channel' if you know what I mean...
I actually got it for 9 bucks
A better alternate title for the film would be 'Asshat'
In the words of Jeremy Jahns.
I don't know why the reviews are so bad I freaking loved this movie so much! Thought it was great and exciting! Does no one agree with me?
Laurie Melchionne I agree.
I love Mann's films but it was terrible. When I heard about Mann doing a hacker movie it excited me.
But it was very average at best. There was just too many leaps of faith in the movie which is very unlike Mann. He is generally very tight about stories and characters.
There was no hacking in the movie at all it was an techno action film that was very ordinary as well.
The movie going public are extremely “sophisticated” these days, so much so that they demand depth of character and story as well as “highly intelligent” scripts and the highest production values from all movies, even fun movies with action and car chases! These “sophisticates” will pan any movie not discussable at Citizen Kane levels EVEN if it stars a farm boy who becomes a space night who flies around with a giant teddy bear and a 1950 motorcycle tough guy who yells “yeeha!” firing laser guns and rescuing princesses.
They’re all so clever and sophisticated in fact, that I’d like to give them all wet Willies, followed quickly by atomic wedgies and then throw them off a fairly tall waterfall.
I’d be very sophisticated about how I did it then go and have a loud discussion about it all at a coffee shop where lots of people with Chinese tattoos, wearing scarves and ironic page boy hats can see and hear my clever observations and be impressed by how sophisticated I am.
>ahem<
Rant over.
@@MrMightyZ No one is stopping you from enjoying terrible movies.
Prom Night Dumpster Baby I wasn’t suggesting that anyone was! I was just making fun of some truly delusional people.
I saw the concept of this movie and I was really hoping it would be good, though I wasn't expecting anything. My expectations were just barely met.
I seriously love Mann, "heat" and "Collateral" are 2 of my all time favorite films, and when a Director as talented as him makes a movie like this, it's so disappointing. I can understand that Mann is getting older, but if he could just make one more crime movie, like "heat", and I don't care how long it takes him, I would be so happy because I believe he has at least one great film left in him.
January strikes again! We were lured into a false sense of security with Selma and Predestination. Then WHAM! Blackhat!
he needs to review the American Sniper
***** FLick Pick and Jeremy Jahns...
Crona Gorgon He was totally not at all being sarcastic.
Reason why Michael Mann did this movie: He got paid.
Art is a job, just like everything else. Nothing wrong with doing it for the money. People who claim to never do that are either liars, or are at a point where they just feel they no longer need to think about how to keep a certain standard of living.
The "Between the Sheets" vid is private!!
When everyone talks about Michael Mann they never bring up Thief from 1981 and starring James Cann. It's a really good movie everyone should check out.
I liked the movie. I suggest you fight me to settle this disagreement.
First of all, Mann is by far my favorite director. His movies are like a visual utopia for me. And the look of this movie was fabulous. It certainly didn’t disappoint. But, and unfortunately there is a big “but,” the script, just like you said, was unreasonably bad. In the end, the movie was really about personal revenge, and although the last action sequence during the parade was shot wonderfully, the script just didn’t make you care about these characters and that revenge until it was too late. It’s a movie, so I can get past someone being given an unreasonably full deck… and Hemsworth’s character (like it seems he has in real life) has it all. The looks, the body, the brilliant computer mind, the bad assery etc… and who can ever criticize Viola Davis. But… and there’s that word again, apart from some good scenes and the previously mentioned look of the film, the poor script, it’s’ poorly fleshed out characters, and very uneven and hard to piece together story were far too much for Mann’s usual brilliance behind the lens to overcome.
Have you reviewed The Drop?
I watched it recently and want to hear your views!
I love "The Last of the Mohicans," great movie.
I LOVE HIS SHIRT!!
Have to disagree about the casting of Hemsworth, I thought he was perfectly cast. Blackhat is a film about how man has dominion over both the physical and mental worlds and Hathaway is the perfect illustration of this. He's basically the apex of humanity; he's a good looking genius who is both charismatic and badass in equal measure. With his skills and sheer willpower he is able to overcome any obstacle and Hemsworth portrays this excellently. "I'm doing the time, the time isn't doing me."
the sherminator Leave Hathaway out of this.
Tell me one of your guests is c Martin croaker? (Voice of Moltar)
Awesome work, Chris! Love your work and Im an aspiring movie critic aswell, and I love listening to your views and sometimes even disagreeing with them, which lets me know that Im already beginning to be able to have my own thoughts about films. You're a big inspiration to me Chris, brilliant work! :D
Hey Chris Can u post a link for the shirt in this Video?!?!?! I want that shirt so bad
Hey Chris where's the american sniper review? I'd love to see your thoughts on the movie, I personally was surprised by it. Left me speechless.
Hugh Jackman in Swordfish and now Chris Hemsworth in Blackhat. Yeah, Hollywood, thats how hackers look like. Let me honor your accurate portrait with this nice eye roll.
Can't watch the interview in the description 😢
Please review anime movies. I don't give a shiit about movies reviews during the slow season.
CHRIS. Where do you get your shirts?
I actually Loved Blackhat don’t get the hate Michael Mann is one of my favorite directors
Nice review Chris! :)
And thanks for the warning! ;) But I will check out The Insider since I wanna see Crowes oscar-nominee performance!
I loved this movie. I watched it on a plane and I enjoyed it all the way. However I agree with some notes on the script. And while the CGI bits did not mesh I thought they were cool. I am a bit biased here because I once worked at a cyber security company.
Love your videos, I know you must be very busy and thank you so much for posting regularly but are we gonna get an inherent vice review?? It's gotten pretty mixed reviews so I'd love to hear your take on it!
This movie looked awful just from the trailer! I mean any movie where the main character jumps from continent to continent trying to track a bad guy down is gonna be unbelievable and cheesey. I knew I would pass when I saw helmsworth trying to pull off this character and the stupid scene in China or wherever where he's walking thru protesters.
All true i saw the trailer and felt in my gut it was dogshit
I actually felt nice when I saw the trailer.. I always watch Chris's reviews first whenever I go see a movie. I hoped this movie will do good and now I had to cancel my plans for this weekend ( May watch American Sniper)
What about Bond movies? It's pretty much what you describe as cheesy but 007 is awesome.
whenever i say a movie looks dumb and probably will be just by looking at the trailer , there are always noob telling me " you haven't seen the movie yet blablabla"... i have nothing against giving a movie the benefit of the doubt but if you give me a slice of cake and it taste like shit i'm pretty sure the whole cake must be shit and i don't have have to eat it all to make a judgement .
LiTTleGaBi21 To be fair the majority of the bond films are rather cheesy, still one of the best film franchises going though!
I liked Blackhat. It was ahead of its time and Mann has a way of taking the viewer to a place like you’ve been there.
You reviewed Taken 3, a trailer for Ant Man and this turd but you haven't done Inherent Vice?
Chris I need to know one thing and its important: Where did you get that awesome T-shirt?
Oh Chris man... Don't talk shit about Hemsworth's credibility as a computer hacker based on his physical size like it takes five hours a day to get that big. A good friend of mine is an amateur body builder, much bigger than Hemsworth and has been working in com/pro for years. Most guys I know who consider body building a past time don't pursue it as their profession, including Hemsworth who certainly has enough time in his day to fit in acting and starring in the worlds biggest blockbusters, travelling all over the world and having a social life with staying in good shape.
Yeah some people know how to manage their time, Chris Hemsworth seems like such a person.
great thriller, wish hemsworth made more films like this
Where did u get that t-shirt? it looks awesome!
Hey Chris would you do reviews on foreign films other than Japanese films?????
Chris what are you talking about?
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have been hearing that Michael Mann uses a lot of shaky cam. I was just thinking 'well that's not right' so I'm glad someone has cleared that up for me.
I love your reviews and opinions Chris and your shirt is badass!
I know right..
Inherent Vice Review?
Michael Mann is such a great Director. Why did he do this...
Could you please please please review Lost in Translation. I really want to know what my favorite reviewer thinks of my all time favorite film.
The script being bad isn't Michael Mann's fault? He's a director, he could've fought to improve it or fired the writer(s)
Mann should make classic style crime dramas.
Still think Mann's Manhunter is the best Hannible Lector film.
From what I'm hearing from a friend who went to a test screening, it was fucked up by the studio.
The script wasn't for Michael Mann
Thx for great videos!
Film analyze tip: Starship Troopers! You can do it man! :)
My issue with the movie is that the main character is included in the buy bust operations when he's the hacker..a hacker! Why does he need to be doing the action sequences. it's risky to have him in there. He's not supposed to be the Tank of the team.
shaky camera makes me sick and feel dizzy... i'd rather watch mr. robot instead...
Damn you January! Damn you!
Sounds like I should spend my time re-watching Hackers (1995)... at least a young Angelina is worth watching... at least she was when I was 15.
I cannot wait for retro rewind chris! I really miss the old toonami
I've never complained about Chris before but something has to be said. The fact that this piece of shit film got a "C-" and American Sniper only got a "C+" makes absolutely no sense. Where's the consistency?
GIVE ME THAT DAMN SHIRT!!
I thought the handheld camera thing had something to do with budget but no, the film had a 70 million dollar budget!
Ironically doing handheld PROPERLY costs far more than just using a handheld cam on the cheap
Great review, one of your best. And Mann's my favorite too.
Thank you for you comments. When I saw the trailers I could not believe that a good looking guy with lots of muscles be a computer hacker. Who in their right mind could possibly believe that a computer hacker all of the sudden knows how to shoot like a military elite force, be extremely athletic, be handsome, be the best fighter, be extremely romantic, and oh! and by the way the best hacker in the entire world? Come on Hollywood, do you really think we are that stupid? Did you run out of creativity?
Thank you for your comment Chris right on target. I'm not paying a cent for this movie.
This is why RUclips commenters are the worst. Bunch of sheep and don't form their own opinion. How can you say they ran out of creativity when you haven't even seen the movie? It's explained somewhat in the movie why he looks how he looks and is a hacker. And if you watched the movie, you'd know that he doesn't shoot like he's military elite force. He barely even fires a gun in the movie. And just shooting a gun is quite easy and doesn't need much training. As long as you have the safety off, you can shoot it. SPOILER: He only kills one person with a gun in it and misses him several times: UNSPOILER. How do you know Chris is right on target if you did not see the movie. You sheep.
Love that Venom shirt, Chris.
Great critics all around the world are praising this movie though, I haven't seen it because of the intial bad reception, I'm gonna just recover it when it comes out on Dvd
my favorite michael mann film thief
I thought the movie was fine. It was boring at times but it was also kinda cool at times as well.
Excited for this new series
1:11 love this momment
The little interest I had for the movie just went out of the window, bad script and the pace dragging is exactly what I thought would be wrong.
Chris you have the coolest shirts
Really not a bad movie. I know it's not constant action and exciting every scene, but I like the flow. Underrated in my opinion.
Chris, review The Ring. The American version.
For such a high tech plot this movie had very low tech interaction. It also lacked the inevitable car chase to escape the NSA lackeys as well as the Dr. Evil type villain who for all his efforts to get his revenge for the thwarted plot still in the end goes out in a blaze of glory. Instead we get a guy who looks like he still lives at home with his parents and dresses in aloha shirts blue jeans and sandals and ends up getting shrived by an ex-con in a prison style slaying. This movie had it's moments but fell flat halfway through.
Chris Stuckmann Just saw the guy who talked about your comment for alternative titles lol that made me laugh when you said it and then when I Saw it lol.
I like how the past few movies Chris and Jeremy Jahns have done are the same and in the same order
Illlooomminatii
I hope Jake from VSauce3 is one of the awesome guest in the Toonami video.
Chris, you should look at the anime: Steins;Gate. If you've seen it please review it, I think it's one of the best animes out there.
Pretty sure now chris is just teasing us with these t shirts !
All I have to say is: MAD T-SHIRT CHRIS!!!!
I wished this was good. Collateral is an amazing and exhilarating film.
you movie reviews are fantastic, i really enjoy them
That toonami thing is gonna kick ass
Thief (might be Mann's best Man movie) is on netflix instant now!
Chris Stuckmann I HAVE THAT SAME EXACT SHIRT!!!
I knew this movie was going to suck anyway.
i may be tripping but a hacker trying find another hacker to stop him hmmm seems sorta like live free or die hard with the hack vs hacker shit
Jonah Hill would've been better than Hemsworth for this role
I feel like this movie's casting director saw Chris Hemsworth and said "Let's top Swordfish's Hugh Jackman as a hacker for 'Least Believable Hacker' casting"
For me it was a very disappointing movie. It was titled Blackhat yet the main character who is suppose to be a hacker runs around like Jason Bourne.
