20 new images have been released for Michael Mann's upcoming thriller "Blackhat". Dealing with the elusive world of cybercrimes, the film stars Chris Hemsworth as a convict who is recruited to track down a dangerous cyber-criminal. The chase will lead him on a dangerous path that spans across Chicago, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Jakarta. Viola Davis, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom, John Ortiz and William Mapother co-star.
The film fits the times wonderfully, since only recently Sony was the victim of a crippling hacker attack. Now it remains to be seen if Mann's film is closer to his epic "Heat", or somewhere down there with his lesser efforts like the "Miami Vice" movie.
"Blackhat" opens in theaters on January 16, 2015.
