Reviews

This stuff is so concocted I had no business caring about it. But I did, because of Bullock.
75
The Net is an efficient, workmanlike thriller that, at its best, does a canny job of exploiting the more fanciful edges of computer-age dread.
75
The Net is a scary film that could have been terrifying but for something slightly earnest and plodding in director Irwin Winkler's attack.
70
This paranoid fantasy is so resonant that it makes The Net an enjoyably creepy thriller, even though Irwin Winkler belongs to the nothing-is-too-obvious school of directing.
63
The Net starts off strong but finishes weak, and if not for the presence of actress Sandra Bullock, who graces nearly every scene, this movie might have been a snoozer.
