Wow! Such a good movie.

Such a frustrating disappointment

Captivating movie !

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

This is a typical 90's movie. Fun to watch, cringe moments, some good and some bad acting. All in all, an entertaining 2 hours movie for no purpose weekends.

Okay I'll say it I love Sandra Bullock There's nothing she has done that I haven't loved The Net is by far my favourite Sandra Bullock movie just ahead of While you where sleeping.... It may of seen far fetched back in the the day of its release One having their whole identity erased But today it's a horrifying reality with computers taking over the world as we speak It's a nail bitter for sure the pace the action never lets up And with our lives dependent of computer technology We are only a key stroke away from our whole identity being DELETED Watch this movie

I'm being quite generous giving it a 2/10.The plot consists of a hacker who finds her identity stolen whilst on holiday after a fling with a man of similar profession. Overall the film lacks any mind grabbing atmosphere to it until right near the end. Possibly from the limits in technology during 1995, but ultimately from Irwin Winkler's poor directing this movie has little to offer the viewer. The scenes are far too slow even when there are potentially gripping moments. The characters are weak to say the least (Sandra Bullock's heart didn't seem to be in it) and Jeremy Northam should have been nominated for worst supporting actor (if only they existed back then 'sigh'), his character being neither convincing or entertaining in the slightest. The script even by today's standards is very relevant. Despite the vast developments in technology (gone are the days of floppy disks and fridge sized computers), the threat of internet fraud is far from over and cyber theft looms within the ethernet of society. I fear that the screen writers John Brancato and Michael Ferris were severely let down by Irwin Winkler's inability to stimulate the actors (Dennis Miller being the most convincing of all with a very meager role in the film) and provide short, snappy scenes to create what could have been a work of genius.
