Movie Reviews of The Net
Movie Review: One of Sandy's BEST films!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Sandra Bullock but some of her films are hit and miss with me. This is my favorite one so I wanted to write a brief review. I think she should take a break from comedies and do another really great suspense thriller like this. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett and the film makes you go through the nightmare that she does if one day your identity was suddenly deleted. And let's face it, we are living in a time where technology is moving at such a rapid pace and everything is so easily accessible on the internet. All our information is stored in the computer and with a few clicks of the keys, you can become someone else. It's really scary to think about. And that is what happens to Angela after she stumbles upon a conspiracy involving a high-powered, rich CEO. Before she knows it, she's running for her life trying to prove to everyone who she really is while uncovering the truth. Angela is a smart, strong woman and you really feel her frustration at what is happening. You are rooting for her the entire way to win out in the end and for the bad guys to lose. I highly encourage people to check this film out. It may seem slightly dated, but still has a lot of merit about how dangerous computers can be if they fall into dangerous hands. You may also want to check out some other Sandra Bullock thrillers, Murder by Numbers and Premonition.
Summary of The Net
A reclusive computer systems analyst is caught in a web of intrigue and danger when she unwittingly finds the secret behind a popular computer security program. Its programmers have created a back door enabling them to tap into classified computer systems. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Sandra Bullock Dennis Miller Run time: 114 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Irwin WinklerThe Net, the first of Hollywood's big cyberthrillers of the mid-1990s, was also the most successful, thanks in large part to the natural appeal of star Sandra Bullock. Still riding high from Speed and While You Were Sleeping, Bullock plays a computer expert victimized by sinister cyberforces who steal her identity for reasons unknown. It's a clever combination of high-tech paranoia and Hitchcockian references (including Jeremy Northam as a romantic stranger named Devlin, after Cary Grant in Notorious). Film historians may look back someday on films like this--Roger Ebert calls them "hacksploitation"--to see what they reveal about our society's reaction to the increasing role of technology in our lives, just as we now study the fears of Communism and the atom bomb reflected in films of the 1950s. Dennis Miller and Diane Baker costar. --Jim Emerson
