After the mechanics of the thriller plot start to kick in, the film drags. And when it's time for the big cyber-showdown, we're stuck, once again, with footage of frantic typing.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
This is a movie that sums up the worst of the computer era: zapping you with techno-cliches and trapping you in constant visual crash and burn.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

The story is negligible, but it offers the same order of fun as a good rock video: the marriage of images and music.
Bruce Diones, New Yorker
Rotten
What's most grating about Hackers, however, is the guileless way the movie buys in to the computer-kid-as-elite-rebel mystique currently being peddled by magazines like Wired.
