What to Know

Critics Consensus

Due to its use of cliched and ludicrous plot devices, this thriller is more predictable than suspenseful. Also, the acting is bad.

Got a by-the-numbers plot? A premise that's intriguing but also has holes in it? Dialogue that needs punching up? Hire Tim Robbins. He can save just about anything. Go to Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail 03/19/2002

Melissa L @Agent99 Jun 6 I loved this movie. The characters are well-played, and the moral of the tale was great. See more Patrick S @PS_I_know Mar 25 The only thing interesting about the cast was getting to see Claire Forlani from time to time. The rest of the acting and directing was bad. See more azeem h @Azeem1 Oct 20 pleasantly surprised, while not a great film it was entertaining and ahead of it's time, in terms of foreshadowing software companies and monopolies. As well as video conferencing in mobiles. See more Steven C @RT75557671 08/10/2025 It got poor reviews probably because it hit too close to the truth for the people it was about... See more thiago s @Thiagostone 07/17/2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jeff D @RT53074071 12/01/2024 This is a 2001 film coming off the 90s when dial up internet was subscribed through free AOL and Compuserve CDs at local grocery stores. Movies like this stretched the imagination of what was possible with this internet thing. Can you write a code to take over all televisions on that planet? Maybe. This was a great movie for its time, similar to Hackers (1995). A group of computer nerds team up to battle corporate greed. The antagonist is also a computer nerd but is outsmarted by younger talent. See more Read all reviews
