Blackhat
Prior to last month, Universal Pictures’ $80 million project, Blackhat awkwardly went under our radar for January releases. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tang Wei, Viola Davis, Holt McCallany, and Wang Leehom – the forthcoming action thriller mystery film has many elements for movie goers this weekend in desperate need of something fresh in comparison to animated, biography and/or comedy releases. Convicted hacker Nick Hathaway (Hemsworth), is soon released from prison at the request of the FBI to help them find a group of unknown perpetrators that hacked into a Hong Kong nuclear plant and the Mercantile Trade Exchange in Chicago. While Nick and his comrades only have limited time to find those behind the attacks, they soon unravel a deeper ploy from those involved in the international banking network.
