Summary
Reviewers say 'Hacker' has mixed reception, with some appreciating good pacing, well-executed action scenes, and Haylie Duff's performance. Others criticize the nonsensical plot, uneven acting, and unintentional comedy. The script and story are often panned for being convoluted and full of plot holes. Despite some praise for background music and certain screenplay elements, the consensus is that it’s a one-time watch.

You're looking at one movie and fall asleep then they decide to play a turd right after. I could see if the movies were in the same genre, but they never are. Hulu does stuff like this but movies you watched for 10 minutes and just couldn't take it anymore.
This movie was hard to finish because it was one of those that you regret starting and wish you had never even started in the first place. It was bad all the way around, fake acting and plenty of plot holes you could drive a truck though. I already do not like Duff so that could possibly be a factor. I have seen good Indy films but this was just not one! Duff was believable as a hacker as much as Angelina Jolie was a fireman in the movie "Those Who Wish Me Dead". This movie was a joke! She would be more believable in a sad movie because her fake expressions and just plastered on her face! I do not recommend this movie at all. Try The Best Offer (2013) or Black Butterfly (2017) Those are worth your time.
The plot gets more and more convoluted the longer the movie runs. In 1992 there was no internet in the home yet Dad is doing something to discover people doing things around the world. Impossible. Things just weren't done that way were they? Whatever. So young Hailey sits down to "have a go". Like she could do anything at all. Whatever!? They are going to murder someone. How long does it take to murder someone and why is it all laid out online? How does she happen to stumble upon it? The movie gets really preachy and ridiculous the further it goes. Why is anyone talking to her and her dad about anything. It's just an abortion of a film. The acting is good, the production is good, it's a good movie just that it's a really bad script and story.
This movie is actually much better than the other reviews here say. Don't get me wrong, it's not really a good movie, and a lot of what people are saying is true: the plot is both nonsensical and predictable, the performances are uneven to say the least, and the whole thing sometimes veers into unintentional comedy. What the movie gets right though is good pacing, well done action scenes (albeit only two, very brief, ones), and a charming lead in Haylie Duff, a much better actress then her career so far requires or would imply. So not some sort of hidden gem or future cult classic, but a perfectly pleasant watch.
Just watched this Movie Hacker (2018). I would like to say it was a very short story and even a small child of primary school can write this story! No nothing special there. The Actors did good work here especially the girl named as Laura. But that wasn't still par excellence. Background Musics were good and screenplay was also good to watch because it have very low duration. Overall nothing special there in this movie, you can consider it as One time watch, if you're free and bored at home and nothing to do then you can go for it.
Anyway 4 out of 10 Stars from my side.
