Hackers

Their crime is curiosity.

The Rio Theatre‘s Friday Late Night Movie series continues on March 11 with the 1995-era Angelina Jolie (pre-Brad Pitt, pre-Billy Bob Thornton) vehicle HACKERS, a www.suspense-thriller-crime-drama-comedy.com that follows a bunch of 25 year-old high school students (including Jolie’s ex Johnny Lee Miller and Matthew Lillard) as they jack into the internet and fight “The Man” with all the style and excitement of a mid-90s Mountain Dew commercial.

“The story is negligible, but it offers the same order of fun as a good rock video: the marriage of images and music.” (New Yorker)

“A plot thinner than an LCD monitor doesn’t prevent the bombastic fun, and the young cast help it hurtle along.” (Empire Magazine)
