Sinopsis(1)
Martin Bishop ha hecho de su pasión una profesión y se ha convertido en un informático de mucho prestigio. A su cargo hay un grupo de hackers algo inusual, pero eficaz. "Los fisgones", como se hacen llamar, llaman la atención de una agencia secreta que les encarga rastrear el robo de una caja negra. El equipo se pone manos a la obra y da con ella, sin saber el gran descubrimiento que en realidad supondría. La caja negra es capaz de descifrar cualquier código de encriptación, así que se convierte en un caramelo muy dulce para todo amante de la informática, dispuesto incluso a matar por ella. (United International Pictures)

The Ocean’s Eleven of the 90s with an incredible star in the main role and several decent names in supporting roles. Logically, the technology they use is a bit outdated and the film thematically cannot match the attractiveness of later similarly tuned films. There is an occasional lack of lightness and playfulness, I didn’t like the main antagonist very much, and some scenes are unnecessarily long. On the other hand, there is no lack of intelligence and sensitivity for dialogues. That said, nothing groundbreaking, once is enough.

I like that this movie remains uncorrupted by today's era. Most of the effects are pretty realistic. Suspenseful plot and good cast. Yeah, this is really watchable.

I wasn't expecting much, and I was all the more surprised. This film is a very pleasant diversion that doesn't bore for a moment. The atmosphere is enlivened by some quite funny situations and the cast of seasoned veterans led by Redford, who almost never leaves the screen, was definitely a hit. Two hours flew by, the black box ended up in the right hands and I'm ticking off not only a very respectable four stars, but also another name in the list of awesome bad guys: Ben Kingsley. :) 80%

Sneakers is a film that has a slower and drier start, but from the second half (i.e. from the plot twist about the past) the tension and action starts to build up, which for me, the viewer, is essential and appealing. What makes this film stand out is the great cast, featuring Robert Redford, River Phoenix and David Strathairn, and the engaging theme of hacking into security systems. The last set-piece was really well paced and cleverly conceived. An enjoyable two hours spent with a solid film that is still appealing after twenty years.
