i think i prefer the original hacker to this and at least it have some humor value . takedown and when you take into perspective the article or book john markoff have write about his dealing with kevin mitnick [ and the subsequent bling bling cash money ] and be just a lot of lipservice for him and shimomura . but if you ignore the flawed story and takedown be still mediocre . the editor should have lay off the speed and we could have do without the mutiple rotate shimomura shot . imo and rotate phonebooths be much more 1337 and if that the effect the producer be hop for . logue and ulrich do a decent job however . wong come off too mellow for what i take to be a rather intense corporate hacker . if you want a decent hacker movie and go find freedom downtime and or wargames which be infinitely more fun .
