I wasn't able to make my withdrawal after the crypto company declined my requests for a withdrawal into my wallet even after reaching out to them I was told I had to pay some tax clarification fees which I paid but no good results came out, even if I was told that I would lose my funds I wouldn't believe it because everything about the investment company looked really with videos of their clients testifying of the life-changing effects they experienced after registering and investing with the crypto company which now leaves me full of regrets. They weren't mere hackers but emphatic and efficient hackers who were committed to helping victims of scams retrieve back their lost investment funds, they are a trustworthy and legitimate hacking firm that helped me retrieve my funds which I thought wasn't possible, and trust me they're the real deal if ever you are seeking for hackers with years of experience under their belt which makes them the best for the recovery of lost investment funds.

I've read many stories about people recovering their funds after losing them to scammers and I thought it was another scam, but after losing all my funds to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I had no other choice but to research a recovery platform that can help me with the recovery of my funds. I stumbled upon Cyber Asset Recovery online and contacted them immediately. I was very impressed by their service and how quickly they helped me recover my cryptocurrency funds. Truly their service is top-notch. I'm highly recommending them to everyone who wishes to recover their funds. Email. Cyberassetrecovery@ protonmail.com

Just watched it for the first time, this, Thief and Manhunter were the only Mann movies I hadn't seen. Great movie until the very end, where it dropped off, in particular the final set piece. The Indonesian crowd which fills the screen is treated as completely irrelevant horse meat. He kills a guy with a metal rod in the middle of hundreds of people who don't bat an eyelid, then he's waving a gun around aiming it at the bad guy through a bunch of people and still no one seems remotely bothered. Only when the machine gun starts firing does anyone seem to care, and then the supposed "good guy" is firing back at the bad guy but clearly hitting innocent people who are all around. It made no sense and was very underwhelming for a Michael Mann final showdown piece, kinda left a bad taste... shame because the rest of the movie was really good, even if it's very 'late Michael Mann tropes' in how deadly serious it is and very basic romance and character motivation. Loved the hacking bits and how realistic they were, and the usual hypnotic Mann visuals and most of the action set pieces. Loved the score too, at least the Atticus Ross bits, not as much the stapled-on orchestral bits from Elysium which didn't quite feel like they belong in the same movie. Still, the good bits far outweigh the bad and I can't deduct more than 1 star for a not very good ending. Overall definitely worth watching.

There are no shortcuts. Yet, Americans lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year to get-rich-quick and other Scams. it has allowed undisciplined investors to trade themselves into oblivion.When you're rewarded with prizes or on-screen displays for trading — a process known as gamification — you're mentally encouraged to trade more.

This is not a film about tight plotting or slam-bang action, but about style. Pure, hypnotic, mesmerizing style.

It's not very good. Some of it, in fact, is downright awful.

... the film has surprisingly aged quite [...] This one has a strong script and directing that is as expected from Mann, directing that works, knows how to get the results needed, and has a bit of flare.

Keith & the Movies

"Blackhat" is a movie built around a good idea and strengthened by some fantastic pulse-pounding action. But ultimately it sinks due to its tiresome, long-winded story. Even the ever likable Chris Hemsworth can't help it.
