LifeHack is a 2025 screenlife [2] action thriller [3] film directed by Ronan Corrigan, in his directorial debut. It premiered at SXSW 2025. [4]
Used to encountering scammers online, four young adults come up with a plan to try to steal cryptocurrencies from Don Heard, a tech billionaire. [5]
Ronan Corrigan began developing the film during the isolation period of the COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to portray the time when he played a lot on the PC when he was younger. [6]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 100% of 13 critics' reviews are positive. [7]
In his review for Variety , Siddhant Adlakha said that "the result is a genuinely funny and ultimately heart-pounding production, with an executions that feels like a heist itself." [5] At IndieWire , Christian Zilko rated it with a "B" saying that "the internet is the closest thing these teenage cyberthieves have to a real life, and Corrigan’s dopamine onslaught of a film is an authentic portrait of the most alive they’ve ever been." [4]
Despite not liking found footage or fake docs, Pedro Martin posted a positive review on ScreenAnarchy because of the characters: "is a good movie, despite (or because of) its screenlife styly (...) but what appeals to me most about the movie are the characters." [8]
At Deadline Hollywood , Pete Hammond said that "for my money, this is hands down the best Screenlife movie yet, a dazzling marriage of online skill, clever storytelling, brilliant editing and acting within the confines of your computer screen that rivals the best of any heist film in recent years."
