this be one of the many techno phobic movie that sprout like mushroom in the mid 90 and after the internet go mainstream . hollywood movie have always have their way in beautify the depicted ongoings and to make them look good and more appealing . the same happen when hollywood try to show u some hi tech . the outcome of such attempt varies from be very far fetch and ridiculous ( see hacker ( 1995 ) and johnny mnemonic ( 1995 ) and etc . ) to be quite realistic ( see sneaker ( 1992 ) ) . the net lie somewhere between those extreme . by nitpick and one can end up with quite a lot of technical inconsistency and and a lot of case where the ongoings seem to be much more sexy and graphical than the way thing be in real life ( a usually happen in movie ) . however and by simply overlook those and the viewer end up with a quite solid and entertaining movie . the character and act be convince and and the movie do a good job in keep you in your seat till the end of it . the plot be okay ( a fairly standard one and really base on the good ol paranoiac design and but with a hi tech edge this time ) and and quite convincing ( again and when disregard technical issue ) . the development of the plot be a bit sluggish and though and and occasionally you can anticipate some supposedly surprising turn in the plot . the bonus here be cutie pie sandra bullock and which besides be cute ( something she do quite easily and apparently ) and also portray a solid act . you can really feel her character her despair and her emotion . in the bottom line and the movie be entertain and interesting and rate about 7 from 10 in my scale . it worth rent from the video library and or even watch in the cinema . whether to buy it or not be up to you .
