Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
tedg Spoilers herein.Consider this the evil twin to `Takedown.'In true hacker tradition, you start with the files, in this case something that really happened. Then you have two parties breaking into the sanctity of journalistic truth and hacking them for their own purposes.First we have the shameless version by Shimomura. I know scores of people who really work for the good guys - many brilliant minds. We are all ashamed of his version, which has been cracked and shredded from truth. And Miramax should today be castigated for trumpeting itself as the good guys (because of its distributing Micheal Moore's entertainments).But that doesn't justify this similar hatchet job. It does feature an embarrassing interview with a dumb journalist - as if we were supposed to be surprised. And it raises clear gaps between what Kevin might have done and what some wildeyed prosecutors claimed. (Kevin was more a talented con man than cracker.) But none of this was harmless prankstering, and this hacking of the truth is as sullied as Shimomura‘s.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.
Teitoku Tries to victimize a guy who knowingly broke multiple laws on multiple accounts. Boo-hoo. I haven't hacked any corporate systems and guess what. I never had to get in the rear in prison.
virtig01 This is a very well-crafted documentary. It shows what the media should have been showing. It delivers the whole story of Mitnick, proving wrong the book and the movie made about him. The documenters also interviewed (and tried to interview) key subjects. Also presented is the journey that the filmmakers' took to make this documentary, along with the (exciting!) long road to Las Vegas.This is definitely an educational and worthwhile video to watch. Everyone should see it, including students and non-computer geeks. There is no hype, just the facts. You will see the term "hacker" in a different light.Oh, and be sure to get your hands on the DVD when it comes out.
dimmu-2 Finally a movie from the perspective of a hacker about Kevin Mitnick. Not from a anti-hacker point of view. When i watched this movie at the HAL 2001 Conference the crowd enjoyed the film a lot! Also the director Emmanual Goldstein (which is actually a alias) has some good points about the hacker community in general which he expresses in the movie and expressed before the movie at HAL 2001.
