Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
This stuff is so concocted I had no business caring about it. But I did, because of Bullock.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.
|
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
The Net is a scary film that could have been terrifying but for something slightly earnest and plodding in director Irwin Winkler's attack.
|
|
The New York Times -
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.

ReelViews -
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.
