- iancmceachern 2y agoLove this movie, it really holds up too. I live right near that plaza in SF where Sydney Poitier yells at Martin "its your Mother" with the Car phone in his hand. Great movie
- nocoiner 2y agoI love that movie too. It’s amazing how well it holds up for it being, in many ways, a tech-focused movie - I mean, yeah, the tech is very much dated and completely a product of its time, but it doesn’t look at all ridiculous. Undoubtedly probably helps that it was pre-WWW/popular internet.
- sjburt 2y agoI think it helps that the technical concept that drove the main plot was a very real and still-present risk to public key encryption systems.
- ManuelKiessling 2y agoWhenever the line „they don’t make them like this anymore“ comes up wrt movies, I think of „Sneakers“ and „The Hunt for Red October“.

- mrcwinn 2y agoI can still hear it. Some voices are just available to you, forever. "We'retheUS GOVERNment. We don't DO that SORT of THING." What a loss. He is one of a kind.
