The subject matter (international cybercrime) and director Michael Mann (often stylistically innovative) promised a cool look at this timely subject. Unfortunately, it quickly turns into a typical Bourne-type actioner with a few keystrokes thrown in. Chris Hemsworth plays a jailed hacker, whose brought out of jail and onto the case to track down the criminal who’s already caused a nuclear disaster. There’s a lackluster love interest that slows down what little momentum that exists. Nothing about the approach or the writing is original and the sluggish pace isn’t augmented by any of Mann’s visual style.
