Note : Are you ready to HACK THE PLANET? Because that's what we're doing on this fine day in 1995, and you'd better get your rollerblades ready, essential hacking tools that they are. In all honesty, though, this film is less bad than I remembered, with both good actors, nice cinematography, a banging soundtrack, and a decent enough story. The only thing I can't stand still is the dialog, which is a mix of meaningless technobabble and cringy catchphrases, although they were right, RISC architecture was going to change everything. Cast includes Jonny Lee Miller, too cool for his own good, but kind of pulling off the swagger, Angelina Jolie, displaying both acting chops, cool, and enough sex appeal for ten movies, Matthew Lillard, playing the one role he played in the 90s, but with dreadlocks and ridiculous sunglasses, Laurence Mason, who we just saw in The Crow, a very young Wendell Pierce, playing a cop as usual, and Penn Jillette playing a cool hacker for some ungodly reason. Actually quite worth watching, to my surprise, and the Jaboody track is pretty funny.
In 1988, Dade "Zero Cool" Murphy, 11 years old, is sentenced to probation and banned from owning or operating computers or phones until his 18th birthday, after crashing thousands of computer systems and causing a huge drop in the NY Stock Exchange. Seven years later, on his 18th birthday, Dade seems to have kept his skillz up, because he immedately hacks into a local TV station and puts on an episode of The Outer Limits, but is soon confronted by another hacker called "Acid Burn" who's infiltrated the same system, and he identifies himself as "Crash Override" before Acid Burn kicks him out. At school, Dade becomes part of a group of hackers, including Acid Burn, who turns out to be an extremely hot woman who's not at all interested in him. One of them hacks into a supercomputer owned by a mineral company and tries to download a file to prove his feat, but is disconnected, however, his intrusion is noticed by "The Plague", a former hacker who's head of security for the company, and who decides to frame the group of hackers to cover up a scheme he's running to defraud the company, and involves the US Secret Service to arrest one of them, but they find no proof. Now, a war between hackers starts, with a Secret Service agent as collateral damage, as everyone rushes to expose or cover up the truth, rollerblade a lot, and hack the Gibson.
This new Shout! Factory 4k remaster is very nice, clean, excellent color and contrast, good detail, well managed grain, just a pleasant viewing experience in general. Sound is similarly good, the commentary track is interesting, and the Jaboody Dubs track is quite funny.
