  1. Re:Kinda like Sneakers.... =-) by phillymjs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sneakers was a way cool movie, still very watchable and re-watchable even as it approaches 10 years old. Very entertaining, and has a very low head-shake count (i.e. elements that make you shake your head in disgust because they are ridiculously unfeasible, or where the technology is insultingly dumbed-down so the unwashed masses will 'get' it). An example of a movie with a high head-shake count, BTW, would be Hackers-- because among many other things, I've never met a geek that looked like Angelina Jolie, and never seen a Macintosh PowerBook Duo with an Intel CPU.
