AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

charlessmith702210 It is of course the sad part of using the computer in the public world. The sad part is identity theft, and this is what character Angela Bennett (played by Sandra Bullock) faces. She loses a lot in this theft. Her husband's plane crashes outside LA--she herself almost does not take off from LAX to Cozumel, Mexico, after a big computer glitch in the airport, and after she does go to Cozumel to meet up with Max Devlin, whom she met through an online dating service, she finds out that it would not be the the best vacation of her life. Devlin's Mexican accomplice steals Angela's purse filled with important documents, only to get shot to death assassination style by Devlin, and then, by odd means, Devlin gets the disk out of the stolen possessions. When Angela realizes his bad side and knocks him out with a wine bottle and tries to escape by powerboat, she does find the disk, but does crash into the rocks during her attempted escape.In the hospital, Angela bails out of the place and realizes that she can't go back to the Mexican hotel room, her calling card number is invalid, and she had to sign a fake temporary visa to get to the United States. And once she lands in the USA, she realizes that her car and her house is gone. And the worst thing is that Angela Bennett's identity was wiped out by character Ruth Marx, who masked Angela's name at Cathedral software, Angela's place at work, while still being pursued by the romantic Devlin. So she is being marked for death on both sides.Angela had to do an inside job of stopping her devastating mess. She actually went to the place of work, and by a unusual ruse...a false fire alarm...she goes into Ruth Marx's computer, and realized that all of this deleterious stuff happening to her was choreographed by character Jeff Gregg of Gregg Microsystems, who was the helm of a mainframe computer security program called the Gatekeeper...the one that caused her the multitudes of malicious incidents. After saving the disk contents, she rushes to the Moscone Convention Center at a computer convention, sends all of the stuff through email to the FBI at the Cathderal software computer station, and even though Devlin catches Angela in the act, Devlin makes the fatal mistake of pressing the escape button on the Gatekeeper mainframe because he loved Angela so much, disintegrating everything on the Gatekeeper program forever. And finally, Angela was able to fend off Devlin and his silencer pistol by killing him in self-defense by a fire extinguisher. With that, Angela Bennett's good name and identity was finally restored.

simon-trek I never knew this TV series existed until a few months ago when I saw the entire series available on DVD at my local video rental. I am a fan of the movie of 'The Net' with Sandra Bullock so I was interested strait away when I saw this TV series. I found this TV series quite enjoyable, it has the same kind theme as in films like 'The Fugitive' and 'North By Northwest'. Laura Langton is brilliant in her role as Angela Bennett, she is a great actress in fact I think she is a lot prettier than Sandra Bullock. This TV series has the same basic plot as in the feature film. Angela Bennett is a computer genius and software troubleshooter. She comes across a program she was never meant to see. A program used by a secret organization known as the Praetorians who use the Internet to manipulate world events. And before Angela knows it her identity has been deleted and she has been given a new identity "Elizabeth Marks" a cyber-terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list. So Angela travels from place to place trying to avoid both the the Praetorians and the police and FBI. While at the same time trying to thwart the Praetorians attempts to disrupt society, trying to stay free and alive and ultimately bring down the Praetorians.Angela Bennett is also assisted by this mysterious online email contact known only as the "Sourcerer" who is voiced by Tim Curry and Angela communicates with him via an email chat room. So I think this TV series is very interesting to know about. If you liked 'The Net' movie with Sandra Bullock then I highly recommend this TV series.

a_draves This is my all time favorite TV show!!!! Definitely a must see show!!! Do whatever you can to watch it!!! Find someone who taped it, buy the DVD's online, whatever, you will love this show!!! Brooke Langton does a truely awesome job playing Angela Bennett!!! And Eric Szmanda, is the best actor on TV!!! Jacob makes a great "supporting character/sidekick" for Angela. This is a great drama, showing more of the characters than the movie did. Here, you really get to know Angela, you get to see how much she wants to get rid of the Praetorians, but, that she still has a heart when it comes down to it. One really awesome show!!! Still my favorite after all these years!!!!

MsMossie I think the show has very well written characters. Most of them aren't just 2 dimensional. The only problem is that the stories are somewhat far fetched. They're just not brilliant. But the show is still very entertaining, and I would recommend it to anyone. And since they added that new character, Jacob (The Sorcerer) the show has some comedy. He was the reason I started watching. :)
