Hackers
Cast: | Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Matthew Lillard, Jesse Bradford, Fisher Stevens, Lorraine Bracco |
You know, that really early one with Angelina Jolie.
Hollywood has a long history of cashing in on the latest pop culture trend and wrapping an inane action thriller plot around it; there's little new on offer here as a group of high school computer geeks have to band together to try and stop the unleashing of a deadly computer virus.
Every mainstay of the genre is here, window-dressed in a cloak of geek cool riffing in everything from
WarGames to
American Graffiti just without much originality or success.
