Movie Reviews of Track Down
Movie Review: As good as Kevin Mitnik gets.
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite all the criticism this movie is better than most make it out to be. The only people that manage to write reviews about it are ones to complain and are offended. These people are fans of a lame hacker by the name of Kevin Mitnik. Face it the character of Kevin in this movie was actually better than Kevin himself. The real Kevin Mitnik was quite lame and uninteresting, he just happened to get a lot of media attention. If an accurately based entertainment movie was made on him it would be extremely boring and nobody would watch it. If anything Kevin Mitnik should be proud of the great character and story they made of him in the movie.
No movie made is 100% historically accurate, so why bother expecting it out of this one? This isn't a Kevin Mitnik documentary so don't expect it to be one. The movie is for entertainment and shows a more accurate world of hacking than other movies have so far. Sneakers, Swordfish, Hackers, are hardly if any at all based on the reality of hacking and computer security. Though Track Down isn't completely true either with mythical things such as contempt, it manages to be the most accurate hacker movie to date. Track Down interestingly demonstrates how technology and especially people can be exploited.
The soundtrack of this movie is also spectacular. Though never relased and I wish it was, the movie has a great mix of rock and electronic music that fits the scenes very well and in my opinion manages to outdo the majority of movie soundtracks.
If you enjoy computers I would recommend you watch this movie but don't take it that far as to how "historically" accurate it really is, because that takes the fun out of this great movie. Just because you think you know computer security doesn't mean you can't enjoy a good movie about it.
