Hack! is a 2007 thriller movie starring Danica McKellar, Jay Kenneth Johnson, and Juliet Landau. The movie is directed by Matt Flynn and written by Danica McKellar. The movie follows a team of computer geeks who attend a weekend-long hackathon, where they compete against their peers to win a cash prize and potential job offers from tech companies. The main character, Josh (Jay Kenneth Johnson), is a recent computer science graduate who is hoping to impress his potential employers at the hackathon. However, things take a dark turn when the competitors start dying one by one.

The deaths are mysterious and gruesome, and the remaining competitors begin to suspect foul play. They soon realize that they are trapped in the building and being hunted down by an unknown killer. As the group tries to stay alive, they must also work together to uncover the identity of the killer and their motive.

The movie progresses in a slow but steady pace, building up tension and suspense with each death. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, as the competitors are confined to the building and are unsure who to trust. The use of various camera angles and lighting techniques effectively creates a sense of unease, making the audience feel like they are there with the characters.

The acting is strong, particularly from Danica McKellar, who delivers a convincing performance as a tech genius who is struggling to keep her wits about her as the body count rises. Jay Kenneth Johnson also brings depth to his character, creating an empathetic protagonist whom the audience can easily root for.

However, one of the standout performances in the movie comes from Juliet Landau, who plays the enigmatic and sinister head of the tech company sponsoring the hackathon. Landau brings an intensity and unpredictability to her role, making her character one of the most fascinating and memorable in the film.

The plot twists and turns, keeping the audience guessing until the very end. The killer's identity is not immediately obvious, and the film does a good job of leading the audience down false paths. While some of the plot points may feel contrived or over-the-top, the movie ultimately succeeds in delivering a satisfying conclusion.

Overall, Hack! is a solid thriller that will keep the audience engaged from beginning to end. While it may not bring anything particularly new or groundbreaking to the genre, it is well-executed and enjoyable nonetheless. It combines elements of horror, suspense, and mystery to create a compelling story that is sure to entertain fans of the genre.
