Excellent

Trackdown is the story of the capture of America's most wanted Cyber-thief. It centre's around a computer'hack' of a top security expert and how this expert eventually captures the hacker. This story is about Kevin Mitnick and I have found out since then that some of the facts aren't totally correct.
I recommend this if you are a Computer crime fan or a Skeet Ulrich fan. If you like this movie I suggest you read more about Kevin Mitnick. May 31, 2008

Entertaining but not accurate.

Its a very entertaining movie but the character and the facts and events were not what happened in reality. Look it up on wikipedia if your interrested in the truth, or watch "Freedom Downtime" from the "2600" group.

To the person below who said "Movies are never accurate dont expect it out of this one...." Ok lets make a movie about Osama flying some planes into a building, but before he hits them he lands and hands out ice-cream... because thats what really happened isnt it? or was it? If your going to tell a story tell it right in my opinion, why do you think Students are taught HISTORY in school and not issued TABLOIDS! May 9, 2007

surprised me.

this movie surprised me, i enjoyed it a lot more than i thought, and was actually on the edge of my seat. especially cause it's based on a true story and is quite accurate.

i watched it again a couple of weeks later and still enjoyed it and then i read "the fugitive game" (available at Amazon.com!!!) i got that book instead of the one the movie was based on, because of the comments of users and it was written by a third party so i felt it would be less biased.

ANYWAY, if you have any interest in computers and find "the art" of hacking to be interesting......check it out!
ah... the movie that is, not the "art of hacking", just something to live vicariously thru the movies! March 28, 2007

A nice movie

If you like, this "histories" about hacking, here you got some of what MAYBE happen with the capture of kevin mitnick...

I recomend it for perople who really like the type... go for it... November 16, 2006

Great Suspense Thriller!

A really great hacker film that becomes a cat-and-mouse edge-of-your-seat thriller. In the spirit of War Games and Sneakers, this film is exciting, thrilling, and fast-paced.
I don't care how accurate it is, THIS is a great movie!
