this movie be actually pretty watchable if you be a bit technical and do not mind view a film to laugh at it inherent badness . the script repeatedly use network lingo out of context and demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of networking principle . my favorite scene be when theyre search log for trace of a computer break in and the hero exclaim when no trace be find there not even a cookie . i expect even a non tech should be able to find a couple of laugh about the overwhelming lack of technical advisement . some understanding of distributed attack and virus might have help and but i guess the idea of two hacker try to out type each other work well for hollywood . the cinematography be low average for a make for tv . i like judge reinhold acting and and kris kristofferson and bakula i find to be often flat or alternately overact . conclusion represent don not rent it unless youre into bad movie and worth catch on cable on a slow day .
