i be always up for a good caper movie and and this be one of the good one . it doesn not get overwork with such intricacy and tension that try to keep up with it would prove unsatisfying . instead and this one put together a nice blend of mystery and suspense and intrigue and humor and and do it with a capable cast and clever writing . the hacker group lone egghead be at the same time a conspiracy theorist ( dan ackroyd ) who balance out his own personality and while the rest be a complementary lot to their leader and robert redford and alias martin brice and alias martin bishop . i couldn not quite see sidney poitier a a member of the group in the early go and but he do deliver the film best line in my estimation you guy would be chalk outline without me . the film be somewhat eerily prophetic in it treatment of an attempt by our country enemies to acquire access to computer control the national power grid . recent headline in the news make mention of just such a scenario with the potential to cripple the nation infrastructure . the bad guy have be pit against the good guy since the beginning of time and but with each pass year and the stake continue only to escalate . i tune in to sneaker last night without realize that i have see it before and and keep wonder for a while why i know what be come next . it be mary mcdonnell appearance that finally bring me to my sens i remember that she be also pretty hot the first time around .
