Interminable techno-dud. Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoJan 15, 2015
Unfortunately, Mann also leans on ill-fitting story elements that he might easily and smartly have avoided, and the movie’s rhythms and credibility pay for it. Read full review

Blackhat will serve no purpose other than deflating the “Heat” director’s reputation and the star’s chances of ever starring in anything that doesn’t involve a helmet with horns on it. Read full review

Blackhat is a tedious, preposterous and incoherent cyberthriller that is anything but thrilling. Read full review

Blackhat is pretty much nonsense, which Mann directs with such misplaced energy and with such little natural instinct for the material that, for most of the running time, the movie’s problems seem entirely his fault. Read full review

Blackhat is a staggering misfire by a whole bunch of talented people, terrible in a way that only a good filmmaker can accomplish, and it kicks off 2015 by setting the bar very, very low. Things can only get better from here. Read full review

The narrative core suffers a conspicuous meltdown, though not before Mr. Mann gets to stage a few impressive action sequences, the best and loudest of which concerns a shootout in a curvilinear tunnel.

Blackhat is such a massive fiasco that it’s hard to know where to begin analyzing it. Read full review

Blackhat is also one of the most visually unattractive movies I’ve ever seen. Read full review
