What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hackers has a certain stylish appeal, but its slick visuals and appealing young cast can't compensate for a clichéd and disappointingly uninspired story.

Hackers isn't a very good movie, but it's a darn sight more fun than The Net. Go to Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel May 3, 2013
After the mechanics of the thriller plot start to kick in, the film drags. And when it's time for the big cyber-showdown, we're stuck, once again, with footage of frantic typing. Go to Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune May 3, 2013
1.5/4
This is a movie that sums up the worst of the computer era: zapping you with techno-cliches and trapping you in constant visual crash and burn. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Oct 30, 2025

It's not a picture for cynics, requiring some relaxation while Softley explores old tech and cartoon personalities, but it's a vibrant feature that's superbly executed, making for an entertaining sit for those willing to go along with it. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Aug 27, 2023
