Blackhat

I can't stand the DV cameras Mann now uses to shoot in super-low light conditions, mainly because the frame rate appears to look like 30FPS (or when LCD TVs have the 240hz motion-interpolation mode turned on), and when cuts are inter-mixed with footage with different looking frame rates, it totally pulls me out of the movie, and "Blackhat" suffered in that department, as well as a somewhat uninvolving film about hacking and the need to bust out a hacker doing time to use his knowledge to stop more dastardly hacking deeds.

I used to like Michael Mann films, but his recent films aren't really cutting it for me much anymore.

I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
