Richard B @Komard Jan 9, 2026 Hardwired has a strong, timely premise and a solid core idea about technology, control, and corporate overreach. The story itself works, and the concept feels uncomfortably plausible given the direction of modern tech. Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers a committed performance, and Val Kilmer adds weight and presence that elevate the material. Where the film falls short is execution. The narrative occasionally sacrifices realism for convenience, and some transitions and developments feel rushed or underexplored. The shortcomings aren’t rooted in the acting, but in how the story is structured and presented. With tighter pacing and a more grounded approach, the film could have landed harder and felt more authentic. Still, the idea is strong enough to carry the movie, and the performances keep it engaging. Hardwired is a good thriller that comes close to being great. See more

Feb 2, 2022 The idea of a chip planted in his head after an accident was okay. Main character worried about becoming a murderer while gunning down hordes of security guards. Guards armed with automatic weapons can not hit him while he drops armored people with a single shot each. Lets go all the main villains but one. Apparently genius computer hackers can access all devices while traveling in an old van down streets because he is a genius. Which they keep mentioning thru out the movie. See more

Apr 29, 2015 This Film looks like it was made in 1998. the effects, the costume design. damn, this film is poor. the acting, why does val kilmer hate his job. See more

Oct 22, 2014 A fairly outlandish plot for an advertising based future dystopia, that's not that well done either. Some of the sets look shabby, the action and acting are fairly weak, Val Kilmer has a terrible hair style (not the one depicted in the poster) and there's some poor moments such as being told Cuba Gooding Jr wants to forget about his time in the army yet he has a framed photo of himself in uniform on the wall!!!
