Konterr Brilliant and touching
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Minahzur Rahman This movie was a good one. The Net is one of these few computer-based movies I watched several times. The Net is another one of these wonderful 90s films we were blessed with. I'd say that because back then, computers really started to take-off, and everyone was starting to get obsessed with getting their hands on these wonderful or amazing machines. But at the same time, these computers has its downsides, and this movie (The Net) showed it. If you were to watch The Net back then, you would probably have felt very worried about the dangers of computers, internet, technology etc. Yes, the movie has its flaws and all that, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this movie. Sandra Bullock was a great choice to play her character, and I don't think anyone else could've done it any better. Whatever success this film had, it was all due to her. A good time to be released as well.
Filipe Neto This film tells how a young computer technician sees her life stolen by hackers, who want to install an advanced computer hacking program on the computers of banks and state enterprises. Soon, she turns into a target, sought by the police, and arranges a way to stop the villains. It's a rather unreal story, full of holes but nice, creating a suspense that can hold us until the end. The pace is good and the short length also helps, there is no plot for a very long film. I especially liked Jeremy Northam, who gives us the main villain, a dangerous assassin in charge of stealing a disc that went to the hands of Angela (Bullock's character), and that tries to do it approaching romantically of her before revealing its face and trying to kill her. Sandra Bullock also played well, but we have seen this actress in several other similar characters. The rest is within the standards of a regular action movie of the nineties, so there is nothing more to point out here.
John Hope Why a rating of 5? Because 10 stars go to to Sandra's black bikini... To be more precise, to Sandra's wonderful body and her amazing face shot in close up. 0 stars go to everything else, especially the way they present software. I suppose that the at the time Apple managers sponsored the film, just to destroy their own brand: A computer network that's so easy to hack and that lies about everything was not the best way to promote Apple... Thanks God Steve Jobs returned back and stopped immediately those ultra expensive, self destroying ad campaigns. If you love Sandra Bullock, watch this movie, it's worth it. Otherwise forget it.
SnoopyStyle Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) is a software beta test consultant. She's a homebody with few friends outside of cyberspace. She collects computer viruses for her friend Dale Hessman. She visits her mom (Diane Baker) in an old age home but she doesn't her. Dale sends her a program that seems to access unauthorized sites and then he's killed. She goes on vacation and meets Jack Devlin (Jeremy Northam) who turns out to be a cold-hearted killer looking for the program. She barely escapes the attempt on her life and computers are going wrong giving her an alternate identity Ruth Marx. Her life is taken over by Devlin and she's pursued by the police. The only person she can turn to is Dr. Alan Champion (Dennis Miller) who actually knows her in real life.The question is why not just kill her. That seems to be the objective from before. Of course, he's trying to date her. If they want to know who she talked to, why not kidnap her? Torture is so much easier. Also why couldn't she make copies of the disk? Didn't she have access to the program in the hotel? There is a lot of stuff that is questionable even if the computer stuff is reasonable. The stuff surrounding the computer stuff makes little sense. Also the movie insists on killing people in the most complicated ways possible. And it seems like Bullock is always running in this movie.
