WE ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL.
Michael Mann (Thief, Collateral), the acclaimed auteur celebrated for his action panache and commitment to cinematic realism, turns his hand to depicting the high-stakes world of global cybercrime in Blackhat, a contemporary, ripped-from-the-headlines twist on the espionage thriller.
Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers, Extraction) stars as Nick Hathaway, a gifted hacker currently serving a lengthy prison sentence. When a Hong Kong nuclear plant goes into meltdown after its security is penetrated, Chinese army cybersecurity captain Chen Dawai (Leehom Wang, Lust, Caution) offers his old college roommate a deal: help identify and apprehend the culprit in exchange for his own freedom. What follows is a frenetic, globe-trotting race against time to avert disaster, fraught with hidden agendas and ever-shifting loyalties.
Praised for its unusually accurate portrayal of cybersecurity, Blackhat boasts an impressive international cast, including Tang Wei (Decision to Leave), Viola Davis (The Woman King) and Yorick van Wageningen (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), and showcases one of cinema's finest filmmakers bringing the skills he honed during a long and storied career to bear on a distinctly 21st-century phenomenon.

Blackhat Blu-ray
Theatrical cut: cult in making. Director´s cut: Michael Mann´s another masterpiece - without sentimentality (eg. gone are dialogues about characters past), with improved structure and overall flow of picture. Video and audio quality are better than old studio Blu-ray release, adding to Mann´s mixture of realism and impressionism. Old bonus features - three documentaries - are informative, not your usual EPK style. Two new interviews are great but it´s bummer that nobody interviewed composer. New audio commentary is funny and contains good info for average Mann´s fan. Missing some thorough video essay about three different cuts or something about Mann´s style, how Blackhat differs from other cyberthrillers. Essay in booklet is short but dense. This release is not as great as two disc edition of Arrow´s Thief (Mann´s debut feature) but inclusion of director´s cut is worth the price.
