Hacked (2020) is but a cancerous movie reeking of extremely toxic pseudo-feminism. At the outset, please be so gracious as to elucidate upon the genre of this film. Is it science fiction? Is it women empowerment? Does it pertain to social issues? Or is it but a haphazard amalgamation of all of them? The crux of the story is a woman (Sameera) fighting against a 19 year old hacker (Vivek) who stalks her online and harasses her endlessly. But a more sagacious examination thereof would reveal to you that Sameera killed Vivek. Had it merely depicted his arrest and gone no further, the deeply flawed film would have been acceptable even on that occasion. But she killed him. How can society support such malicious propagation? The film somehow HAS to depict Vivek as a villain. Therefore, it takes his depravity to benumbing levels! It is depicted that he had actually ruined lives of multiple women prior to harassing Sameera. I, for one, do not buy this preposterous drivel. Ostensibly, no one could ever find that out; no, not even the advanced technology of the government. Then, he simply had to be shown evil. In order to add effect to the point that he is extremely infatuated with Sameera, he is shown to force his maid to dress up as Sameera for a night he expects shall be paradisaical. But then, her hair does not smell like that of Sameera, and he outright assaults her sadistically! One feels like regurgitating at that horrendous scene. She drank and got almost depressed merely at the fact that the man named Om Kapoor she was after did not attend her party. Why did she not renounce him if he treated her like garbage? In her drunken state, she had a cathartic moment in front of Vivek and, of course, passions had to become too high to handle. The next morning, she realizes it was all a mistake and even calls Vivek to a cafe to audaciously say, "You are just 19". As if she had thought of the same while sleeping with him! Now, Sameera had lodged a formal police complaint against Vivek after he began harassing her using his hacking skills. At least THAT could have set investigation into motion, whereafter law enforcement could have come across such malicious cyber activity as were carried out from Vivek's laptop not only in Sameera's case, but earlier cases potentially as well. A senior police official is convinced that Sameera has killed Vivek, but apparently "they cannot prove it". Why? Can they not discover that the CCTV camera had been hacked, in order to establish that Sameera took advantage thereof and the camera did not capture her leaving the hotel premises, proceeding to Vivek's place to murder him? The police officials shut the case with the senior officer saying, "My gut tells me she has murdered him. It is a perfect crime." And Sameera goes unscathed! The actors have not disappointed while performing their roles, but it is an asinine film with a preposterous message! Would emphatically recommend people to NOT watch it.
