It's not a classic film,or great cinema but its fun and I laughed.Would i watch it multiple times,no,would I recommend one view,yes,no matter who you are.First,why I take 1 and 1/2 stars off.Silly story.Some poor over the top acting by some,and pretty people aren't computer geeks.That still leaves 3 and 1/2 stars to see it.Released in 1995 and running 107 minutes,I wanted to see Alberta Watson,a hottie from my youth,playing a MOM of a teen aged hacker, and also a very young Angelina Jolie as a hacker.No way SHE would EVER be nerdy and she wasn't no matter how many times she worn a NJ Devils hockey jersey.Now the less said about the acting,the better,Not terrible but down to the level of the silly script.
Two funny small roles by Marc Anthony and Penn Jillette added to the limited enjoyment.
What I did like was the CGI hacker effects,cool for 1995,like the bastard son of Tron,much better then Wargames. If your young you'll like it more than folks my age,but I still chuckled,it wasn't a nasty lying film,but just silly fun.IMDB summary below and Trailer URL link after the pix
A young boy is arrested by the US Secret Service for writing a computer virus and is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday. Years later, he and his new-found friends discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus, but they must use their computer skills to find the evidence while being pursued by the Secret Service and the evil computer genius behind the virus.
