  Good film! I love Sandra Bullocks work she's an amazing actress!

• Candy R

  
  Early technology thriller. Good actors but disappointing plot. A bit of a turkey for Sandra.

• Dean !

  
  A very good thriller, ahead of it's time with a cyber conspiracy theory. A bit tame compared to more recent films with a similar plot. However it's still an enjoyable thriller if not too dramatic and Sandra Bullock looks great as always. Seems there was a straight to DVD… More
  A very good thriller, ahead of it's time with a cyber conspiracy theory. A bit tame compared to more recent films with a similar plot. However it's still an enjoyable thriller if not too dramatic and Sandra Bullock looks great as always. Seems there was a straight to DVD sequel a few years ago to check out to?

  Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) leads a life that is unlike most. She doesn't have much excitement in her life; her life is built mostly around her being a MAJOR computer ace. Unfortunately, her favorite hobby and job just might get her in trouble when she comes in contact with the wrong group of people and when she finds a top-secret program that can faulter computer networks. "The Net" is a GREAT movie to say the least! The majority of the best suspense movies are built around a story having to do with a kidnapping, murder, or something else like that. The makers of this movie did a spectacular job of making "The Net" intriguing, compelling, interesting, and best of all, suspenseful. Sandra Bullock also puts on an unforgettable performance that makes the movie believable and even more compelling. An identity can be stolen and a life can be changed dramatically by a simple computer hacker or even a simple diskette. Whether you're a fan of the internet, things having to do with computers or not, at least give "The Net" a rent. If you're a big fan of movies that keep you on the edge of your seat, don't even think about renting "The Net", BUY it instead! NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2002.

  A really entertaining film, action packed and on the seat tension. Its a clever thriller and really worth a watch

  If you like your conspiricy films and you haven't watched this one, I recommend you do.

• Flutie A

  
  It's cool to watch now because all the stuff Angela does, (mainly at the beginning), is commonplace nowadays.... This one is alot of fun, and still holds up as a good edge-of-your seat thriller/chase movie....Can't believe it's 14 years old!

• Dean M

  
  Sandra Bullock is fantastic as <i>The Fugitive</i> female version who's caught in the Net - targeted by a mysterious organisation who will stop at nothing to protect its deadly secret.

• Red L

  
  Movie's OK. Keeps your interest while you figure out how Sandra Bullock will get out of the mess she finds herself in. For a movie made over ten years ago, not much has changed in computer technology.

  Journeyman thriller that sees Sandra Bullock victimized over the internet in a gimmicky identity theft plot device. Again, Sandra is nice to look at, but very little suspense or tension is generated during the proceedings. If you're insistant on seeing this type of film, Enemy Of The State is better.

  "The Net" I liked this movie when I was a teenager, mainly because the movie involved computers. But over the years, I have quickly come to realize that this movie is really nothing more than a silly fiction story. First of all, for this exact reason, the government would never ask a single company to knowingly setup something linking all of the government's computer systems. But probably the most comical part of this movie is how everyone says "our computers are protected by the Gatekeeper System, so it's not possible that anyone could have broke in to change anything." Anyone with a reasonable amount of knowledge in the computer industry will tell you that there is no such thing as a completely secure computer system. And more frequently, finding ways around the security system is a lot easier than anyone would ever like to think. I also love the end of this movie, where she unleashes the virus on the Gatekeeper System, and they say "the virus is eating through the Gatekeeper System, nothing will be left, everything will be destroyed!" All she did was stick the disk in the computer, and it instantly infects the Gatekeeper system, waiting for them to press Esc. By the way, I thought Mac's were supposed to be immune to viruses. LOL Isn't it interesting how our society becomes more and more attached to technology,

  A hitchcock type supsense thriller that evokes the mind to think. This film is criminnaly underrated.

  Sandra Bullock plays a computer genius who through a series of events, has her identity-- her whole life, in fact-- snatched away from her with the stroke of a single keyboard and now she can't prove that she exists. (Warning: to all those people surfing the internet, do not reveal too much about yourself because they are spies here that could take one's life away with one click of this mouse.) Jeremy Northam played an awesome villain and the scene where he terrorizes Bullock on his boat was quite suspenseful. He is unpredictable and very menacing in this movie. I live real life and watch the news with all its doom and gloom so instead of picking this movie to bits, I'll advise everyone not to take it too seriously. It is an underrated little techno thriller that has thrills a-plenty, is pretty engaging and will keep you entertained.

  Wasn't very good then, incredibly dated now (in a bad way, not a funny way).

  You know I actually liked this movie. Thought it was somewhat suspenseful, and smart. Sandra Bullock was quite believable with her performance. "The Net" is more focused on the technology of internet chatting but who cares, throughout the last act of the movie director Irwin Wrinkler saves the picture by adding details of suspense. "The Net" isn't great but was pleased.
