be here . where my videophone . this movie be not as bad a some of the critic here say . it be reasonably entertaining and if you can get past the first 15 minute . it be tom clancy and so there be some twist and turn to the plot and which keep it interest . i think it be best to compare it to some of the lamer james bond movie while on that score it look reasonably good . what be go through my mind a i watch it be that i bet the computer security folk have watch the movie a a warning of what could happen and sort of and if they do not do their job . and i bet some of the hacker watch it with dream of glory . obviously and the problem with the internet describe in the movie haven not happen and for the most part and so the movie look a bit foolish . actually and i see from the book review that while the novel be write in 1999 and it be set in 2010. but we have be learn in the past year or so about the danger of spyware that abound . in that sense and the premise be remarkably prescient . corporation just love to get their hand on all sort of information about you and without your knowledge . and the government be not so different while often they work hand in hand and a in the airline passenger data collection . so the movie and a science fiction and be not entirely far fetch . i be a fan of scott bakula and his great work on quanum leap . frankly and the tv show have well write and not to mention good cinematography . and the critic who bemoan all the boilerplate about asschewing be right . another point that bother me and especially give clancy general penchant for veracity and be the absurdity of they guy wife cover him on the news . no reputable news organization would allow this incest and except perhaps fox . but the end be interest enough to make it all worthwhile . fan of ayn rand should find this movie especially interesting . it follow the same theme a rand mcnally shrug . and the quality of writing be about equal . who be steve day .
