3/5

The film is a little too stolidly executed to quite manage the balance of insight, hard fact and true-crime thrills, but at the very least it serves as a reminder not to open any dubious attachments — and, if you’re a cyber-thief, to watch your spelling.

“Billion Dollar Heist” is not totally bankrupt, but in mining its central cybercrime for tidbits while smoothing over its complexities, the film erodes its power both as seminar and spectacle.

3/5

I left the film convinced that cybercrimes do indeed pose a serious threat to anything from medical records to peace of mind. But I’m light on specifics.

3.5/5

If you haven’t been inundated with other stories about cyber crimes or don’t really know the scope they’re capable of, this would be a really good eye-opener that could start you on the path to learn more about the subject matter.

The film gets into the baffling nitty-gritty of what really happened, but is actually more compelling as a primer on the history of cybercrime itself.
