Sneakers


Sneakers tells a good story about a group of hackers who stumble upon a black box with the ability to decode any encrypted system.  Obviously, everyone wants this black box and criminal activity is involved.  Caught in the crossfire, Marty manages to retrieve the black box but loses it and most of the film has him devising and executing a plan to get it back.  Despite not being a comedy, there were some funny one-liners.  It doesn't go much into the technical jargon, keeping it simple to follow and understand.  It is a tad bit too long though, being 2 hours long.  That said, the pacing was good and it never got too boring or bland.  The antagonist was predictable, same with the finale in how Marty handled things.  Overall, an entertaining movie with the only real flaw being the overused plot devices.
