Movie Reviews of Tom Clancy's Netforce
Movie Review: Clancy must not research his movies as much as we thought
Summary: 2 Stars
Very inaccurate depiction of computers. Tom Clancy, i thought you were highly touted as being a realistic researcher of the details... how did you flub this one so bad?Movie Review: It really hurts to be this movie -- complete cybersnoozer
Summary: 1 Stars
How anyone can turn a cool new premise like this and transform it into a 2 1/2 hour journey into boredom is a mystery. How Tom Clancy's name was tacked on to this is another one.Which is the greatest mystery you'll find in the film. Quite literally you could find more suspense and better writing from your average Scooby Doo re-run than from Netforce. It is seriously that bad.
All the lead characters come off as generic and clueless, especially for people who are supposed to be working as elite law enforcement. Bakula gives his what has to be his lamest performance as a high-tech anti-terrorist.
Kris Kristofferson plays the typical grisled "chief" who longs for the good-ol' days. Dennehy plays a bit part as the person who's only job is to say "Find out who's doing this!". Both really don't even appear much in the film.
The snail-paced "who-dunnit" plot was rather disappointing. Most of the movie is spent chasing the obvious and learning about the Janus (their fictional Microsoft) Corporation's sinister new web browser. The actions scenes were not bad, but the romance subplot was completely out-of-sync with the rest of the movie.
If you're a computer geek, you'll also find several additional insults to your intellegence with the plot. Also on the annoying list was the complete overuse and misuse of Internet/virtual reality jargon.
In short, this movie is wrong. It's only value I can think of getting this would be to show the 90's pop-culture conception of the Internet. If you want suspense, action and politcal intrigue check out the "Jack Ryan" series of Clancy movies... 'cos this baby, despite it's decent production quality, is a total waste of time.
Movie Review: Worst thing to carry Clancy's name
Summary: 1 Stars
This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only thing it had going for it was Tom Clancy's name in the TITLE! Their idea of technology 20 years from now is like "Back to the Future" on steriods. They used cheap gimicks like refering to "Star Wars 7" and an online court. They didn't even get many of the technological terms right! The acting was worse than daytime soap operas. The plot was nonexistant. The only good thing was the quality of the explosions. They were done well, but they were every five minutes... This is pure fantasy and anyone who has reached puberty won't buy it. This isn't a Tom Clancy flick. It is pure rubbish.Movie Review: choppy clint eastwood style non-sense

I just watched this from an old VHS movie I got for $1 at the library. Scott Bakula tries to play a tough fearless agent working for the FBI but comes across as a Clint Eastwood wannabe. Cute and sexy Joanna Going plays his loyal admiring sidekick and does a good job keeping one's interest. Other than that, the storyline could have been taken from a Captain Marvel comic book with a little folksy dinner table chat thrown in which instead of warming one's heart makes one want to vomit the dinner.Movie Review: netforce movie was hideously slaughtered
Summary: 1 Stars
opening of the movie doesnt even exist in the book,book starts with the LIMO ambush and Steve Day killing one of the Russians and getting killed himself. theres about 2 hours or more in the movie that doesnt happen in the book..very bad movie,i was anxious to watch the movie after reading the book..a waste of a $3 dvd rental and my 2.5 hours
