Without being any sort of miracle, this engaging and lively exploitation fantasy-thriller about computer hackers, anarchistic in spirit, succeeds at just about everything The Net failed to.

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

An onslaught of lame plotting, dopey writing and cornball histrionics.

After the mechanics of the thriller plot start to kick in, the film drags. And when it's time for the big cyber-showdown, we're stuck, once again, with footage of frantic typing.

A disjointed yet generally enjoyable stint at the movies, even for those who don't know an infobahn from a nanosecond.

Hackers isn't a very good movie, but it's a darn sight more fun than The Net.

Rarely do movies try-and fail-as hard to be cool as Hackers.
