60 of 131 · most liked firstBLACKHAT is not a perfect movie, but Mann's conception of the new face of evil being a dead-eyed slob playing at godhood, reducing all human life to data points while being utterly disconnected from their own actions by virtue of their tech was...on point.
unlabelledView post →Maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems like there’s a lot of people wearing @defcon and Blackhat merch at an Orbital show. A band a lot of Americans were introduced to from the movie ‘Hackers’
unlabelledView post →Talking to a friend, I referred to DISCLOSURE DAY as Steven Spielberg's BLACKHAT. (If you know me, you know I consider that to be a good thing.) Here's my review: www.vulture.com/article/disc...
unlabelledView post →letterboxd.com/murdermurder... Been ten years since the release of Blackhat, a film I love. Using this as an excuse to repost the only worthwhile letterboxd review I've ever written. (just seen a comment on there from ages ago asking if I'm @seamas.bsky.social. I can now exclusively reveal I'm not.)

unlabelledView post →I love Blackhat, and was lucky enough to catch it in the theater. What if Laurie Anderson had made a Bourne film.
unlabelledView post →This week's Bond movie remains absolute bobbins (except the final scene). Watch "Blackhat" instead. That movie's great. #filmsky #Letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

unlabelledView post →I wrote an essay about a recent BLACKHAT double feature (US ver., director's cut) and the different textures of the two cuts! It's a good time for everyone on Movie Diary: geoffreylapid.com/blog/2023/12...
unlabelledView post →good news, sickos. the special edition blu-ray of Michael Mann's BLACKHAT is out this week, with a third version of the film edited by Mann after the theatrical & international cuts. I haven't seen this one since release but I'm in, of course. www.arrowvideo.com/blackhat-lim...

unlabelledView post →In 2025, I am going to make sure I finally watch Blackhat. I skipped it when it came out because of scathing reviews but it seems to have a nice cult following these days. It’s time to give it a whirl. It seems like a film I’d really enjoy.

unlabelledView post →Hey, Iran hacked a bunch of PLCs to sabotage water pumping infrastructure across the state. So if you need an excuse to talk about the plot of the movie Blackhat with your long-suffering wife, now is the time.
unlabelledView post →I had great time with this. It was exactly the BlackHat-adjacent film I was looking for. Heat is the obvious inspiration, but it does plenty that Michael Mann wouldn't and worked in its own right for me. Chris Hemsworth is great in the lead role, the ageless Halle Berry is wonderful.
unlabelledView post →saw the director's cut of Blackhat, the Michael Mann film for years I mainly knew of this as that one movie where Chris Hemsworth plays a buff hacker. As it turns out, it's also really fucking good. I shouldn't have ever doubted the man!
unlabelledView post →reupped for this ep specifically, is it weird to say BLACKHAT is my fave Mann flick? there is maybe thee best "prepping to fight a dozen guys" montages ive ever seen in an action movie here
unlabelledView post →Today's crypto crash made me want to rewatch the director's cut of Blackhat after listening to @ohmpods.bsky.social's episode about the movie yesterday.
unlabelledView post →Blackhat is a perfect but hated film because people hate themselves. I know everyone hates the Adam McKay political comedies but I think they're fine. What was the question
unlabelledView post →Introduce yoruself using one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand. Mushrooms, Blackhat, Fixer Upper (from Frozen)
unlabelledView post →Deep into the Michael Mann catalogue tonight. The Director’s Cut of Blackhat (don’t waste your time with other versions).
unlabelledView post →I went to Twitter for a second and saw people discussing how good the movie Blackhat is. Truly disgusting and sad to see what’s become of that app.
unlabelledView post →Literally one of my favorite films, probably tied with Blackhat and Manhunter as my favorite Michael Mann movie, so to hear the audience being a buncha chucklefucks because they're afraid to sincerely engage with something so unafraid of its own romanticism is, to understate it, infuriating.
unlabelledView post →#Watched Blackhat (2015) - Chris Hemsworth is … the world’s most physically fit hacker. Ok, movie logic, but the FBI has to check an apartment, and they send a civilian convict on furlough and a civilian agent of a foreign power, while the Marshall waits in the car? The fuck? Pretty but very dumb.
unlabelledView post →I’d say Blackhat. Just because of how dismal the box office was and how mocked the film was for casting Hemsworth as a hacker. But I thought it was fantastic. He found an interesting visual language for ‘stuff happening in computers’ that wasn’t cheesy. I can’t wait to watch his re-edited version.
unlabelledView post →Favorite Movie(s) Right This Second. Blackhat (2015) I love this movie. The Mann recut is the better version but even the theatrical edit has those amazing shootouts and Ritchie Coster chewing scenery. What’s yours? #filmsky #scriptsky #cinema

unlabelledView post →I love Michael Mann but his director’s cuts are so annoying for this reason. Especially when he tries to change the structure in Blackhat and while the DC structure is more elegant it’s like no dude what I saw first is the movie. You’re stuck with trial by fire.
unlabelledView post →Michael Mann is mostly a good director who’s just not for me but I am 100% all in on BLACKHAT. I don’t know what a perfect film is but it might as well be.
unlabelledView post →I'm not contrarian enough to argue that BLACKHAT is a 'better' movie than SOCIAL NETWORK, I also just don't actually believe that, but I do think Mann had a better understanding of men like Zuckerberg than Sorkin trying to fashion that chinless waste into a lovelorn, tragic antihero.
unlabelledView post →I think Thief is a better film than Heat. But, then I think BlackHat is a better film than Heat. So, I can't be trusted. Michael Mann apologist that I am.
unlabelledView post →R.I.p. Michael Madsen co-star of underappreciated Olivier Assayas globetrotting crime-thriller "Boarding Gate," a film that would make for an excellent double feature with Michael Mann's "Blackhat"
unlabelledView post →lol. the mod team doesn't like my profile picture and banner despite them being SFW? feel bad for anyone who clicks through hoping for horny lewds and just finds me talking about the Blackhat: The Movie and shitting on libs.
unlabelledView post →10 years ago, a Michael Mann cyberthriller bombed at the box office; today, BLACKHAT has a reputation as one of Mann's best films this century. For Inverse, I wrote on how the hacking action film (hacktion?) is a robust, expressive look at humanity in crisis. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
unlabelledView post →Movie Monday! All the disks I’ve picked up this month so far. Not seen The Wild Robot or Blackhat, but heard interesting things about both. The Cell, on the other hand, is a scruffy fav of mine. Tarsem Singh has a great eye for weird tableaux. The Smile movies are a good laugh, so… Steelbooks!
unlabelledView post →In the movie Blackhat, the characters are riding in a helicopter, and two of them switch to a private channel on their headsets to have a potentially awkward conversation without the others hearing, even though they're right next to them. I think that's so clever and neat.
unlabelledView post →I really need to give more Mann films a shot. I think I've only seen this film and Heat. Though I have been told not to bother with Blackhat...

unlabelledView post →Really appreciate how any other director/movie would have had the villain's grand plan in Blackhat be this big terrorist plot but no this guy is just out there to fuck people over on the stock market. It's a pump n dump with some major collateral damage. He's a fuckin day trader with armed goons
unlabelledView post →So, if I remove Blackhat, 48 Hrs, Congo, Lake Placid, Dracula, the Faculty and Fright Night as being recently watched, what do I watch next???
unlabelledView post →Blackhat is such an interesting movie because Hemsworth is doing like a soft Colin Farrell in Miami Vice impersonation, which is really awkward, but also fascinating to watch in a movie about hacking that plays it pretty straight and not too goofy. Anyway, the director's cut is not bad.
unlabelledView post →Oh you mean Blackhat! It’s the better movie for sure. Another one where the director’s cut is noticeably better. There was the initial joke reaction of bronze god Hemsworth being a computer nerd but it works. Loved the China angle.
unlabelledView post →I did not really love this movie the first time, but the director's cut has turned me into a real BLACKHAT truther
unlabelledView post →You're breaking my heart, Jim! Next thing you know, someone will be telling me that hackers don't look like Chris Hemsworth in Michael Mann's film Blackhat
unlabelledView post →If Crime 101 isn’t a sequel to Blackhat set in the Collateral universe then I guess I now have an idea for a movie.
unlabelledView post →20 minutes into Blackhat and I won't lie, I'm surprised people hated this movie. It seems like a pretty decent action set piece so far.
unlabelledView post →I physically purchased the supposed ultimate director cut of Blackhat that “fixes” the movie, watched it and still can’t decide if I enjoyed it or not, but I do feel like it is very slow paced and Chris Hemsworth was badly miscast
unlabelledView post →Rewatching #Blackhat. This was the first movie that I saw with Chris Hemsworth outside of his work in Marvel. I love this movie. #filmsky #NowWatching

unlabelledView post →Got around to watching Blackhat. Never seen it before, and figured I’d go with the director’s cut. I’ll be fascinated to learn why the theatrical version was so despised because I thought the movie was really good! Hits the Mann vibes. Procedural jargon, loud gunfights and ambient techno. And soy
unlabelledView post →Critics missed the boat on stuff like FAY GRIM, BOARDING GATE, and BLACKHAT, so I’m not surprised to see shrugs over INHERITANCE, the first great film of 2025.
unlabelledView post →New clipping. joint (and the news that their next LP is cyberpunk inspired) gave me the long overdue realization that BLACKHAT is a cyberpunk movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=20OY...
unlabelledView post →The only thing I remember about Blackhat is that Thor asks for an Android phone at one point and it took me out of the movie.
unlabelledView post →Prepping for Film Sack. We're watching 'Blackhat', Micheal Mann's biggest box office flop. Did we miss a gem in 2015? Or is it shite? Gonna find out while we watch sexy Chris Hemsworth do some hacking or something.
unlabelledView post →Blackhat! Good movie!
unlabelledView post →Similarly, it took me three quarters of the movie Blackhat to realize that Hemsworth was doing a South Chicago steel worker accent when South Chicago steel workers are most of my family
unlabelledView post →I've watched the director's cut version of Rebel Moon multiple times. The House With a Clock in its Walls is a perfect Amblin film and easily the match for most of the beloved 1980s classics. BlackHat
unlabelledView post →I think all the characters are a little too thinly sketched and everything ties up too nicely (in both plot structure and what happens in the story) but yes, solidly shot and perfectly functional crime movie. Highly recommend Blackhat for a real dose of the Mann-Hemsworth combo if you haven't seen!
