I was somewhat intrigued going into "Blackhat" because of my appreciation of Michael Mann's work over the years. Unfortunately this movie is flat, not very thrilling for a Thriller and Chris Hemsworth of "Thor" fame is dull and listless in the lead as he mumbles just about every line. Viola Davis's talent is wasted and Michael Mann seems to be going through the motions. Mann has Written and Directed some very good films over the years including his first Theater release "Thief" as well as "Manhunter", "Heat", 'Last of the Mohicans" and one of the best films in the last 20 years "The Insider". Unfortunately the 2000's haven't been as kind with more misses than hits. "Miami Vice" & "Public Enemies" fall into that category. "Ali" does have its moments but only "Collateral" hits the mark of his later releases. I'm also not sure that I have a lot of faith in Chris Hemsworth being a consistent leading man unless it involves him using a Hammer.
Disappointing, listless, forgettable action Thriller.
