An average movie

Seriously, it must one oft he most disappointing movies I have ever watched... Indeed, when I heard that Michael Mann,  after 6 long years, was finally coming up with a new directing effort, of course, I got pretty excited.  Eventually,  it didn't get much love when it was released and it was pretty much a flop but I still wanted to check it out anyway. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be pretty lame after all and easily the weakest movie delivered by Michael Mann (Sure, I have seen since 'The Keep' and it's really bad but I'm not sure which one was actually worse). It's too bad because, with the current fear of cyber terrorism, the whole thing definitely had some potential but I was just amazed about how poorly developed it was. First of all, I have nothing against Chris Hemsworth, he is fine playing an Asgardian god or just an average hunk but he would be one of my last choices to play a talented hacker. Then, you had this terrible idea of having the hacker released from prison to help the police. It's a very old gimmick that has been overused through the years and it didn’t add anything to the story. Then, why the hell was this guy, who was basically a technical consultant, involved during a police assault? In fact, even though the main character worked closely with the police during the whole thing, they all get killed and he actually managed to fix everything, only with the help of his new girlfriend who was apparently just a simple network administrator, and the police/CIA/FBI/whatever apparently simply vanished from the whole story. Anyway, to conclude,  I could go on and on about this, it was just really weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
