Hacker

About This Movie

So, Hacker (2019) is this action-packed family flick that dives into some pretty intense themes for a kid's movie. You’ve got 13-year-old Benjamin, who’s been living with this notion of his mother’s tragic accident, only to stumble upon some dark family secrets that lead him straight into the murky waters of the Danish Secret Service. The pacing is quick, keeping you on your toes, and there are moments that feel really genuine, especially in how Benjamin grapples with trust and betrayal. The practical effects aren’t over the top, which gives it that raw feeling. It’s a blend of coming-of-age and espionage that doesn’t shy away from the darker side of secrecy and loss. A bit of a hidden gem in the family action genre, really.
