“Blackhat” is both a clunky Michael Mann movie and a classed-up Steven Seagal movie. To perceive either statement as an outright pan is to delude yourself into denying the surface pleasures in either scenario. Whether you’re woozily mainlining Mann’s uncut visual narcotics or giddily bellowing “Woo!” as a heroic, lumbering slab of meat (Chris Hemsworth, in this case) snaps elbows, the rush is palpable.
