4K UHD Review – Hackers

1995's "Hackers" isn't a vision of the future or a snapshot of the era. It's a study of style and restless adolescent energy working with the technological advancements of the 1990s, merging a comic book sensibility with the internet revolution, emerging with a broad, cyberpunk-y offering of entertainment. It's heightened work from director Iain Softley, who works hard to give the feature a special screen magic, playing with the new frontier of computer-fu and the tried-and-true ways of teen cinema. "Hackers" is immense fun, especially if it's not taken especially seriously, with Softley carefully supplying a steady stream of exaggeration with his characters and environments, giving the whole endeavor a wonderful amplification and sublime soundtrack support, making for a spirited movie.
