Summary: Thriller, Meet Ms. Bullock
Review: I think Sandra Bullock has covered almost every movie genre but horror. And she's done each with expertise and fun. In The Net, Sandra plays Angela Bennett. A woman committed to her job as a computer virus-detector. After having a one-night stand with a guy on her only vacation in 6 years, her life ... is suddenly gone. All because of a single disc in which the man she slept with wanted. Now she must run from the police, and the group of people out to get her. With only the aide of her old shrink and lover, played by Dennis Miller. Sandra tackled the role of Angel Bennett as well as she has all of her roles. She shines throughout the whole movie. Although her character falls deeper and deeper into insanity. Dennis Miller was the comic relief, and did well at that. The story itself is something that could happen in real life, and that made the premise frightening in a way. To have your whole life stripped away from you in one second is absolutely terrifying. The directing in The Net wasn't topnotch, but does keep you on the edge of your seat. I wish the DVD would've had at least a featurette or something. It doesn't even come with a theatrical trailer. But the picture and sound quality are good, and there are scene selections. The menus look like they're right from a computer program. The Net isn't one of Sandra's best movies (Leave that to Miss Congeniality), but it certainly is one of the entertaining ones.

Summary: Underrated Bullock Film
Review: Sandra Bullock stars in THE NET, a suspenseful thriller that will leave you at the edge of your seat. She plays Angela Bennett, a woman who is cut away from reality and the world and works from home as a computer virus detector. She comes across a disk which has a glitch that allows hackers to get into the FBI system. She takes a vacation and has a one night stand, with the man who is after her disk! Soon she finds her identity has been erased, and is forced to take on the identity of Ruth Marx. Soon she discovers this Ruth Marx has a criminal record, and must go on the run to protect herself and try to win back her identity. Dennis Miller plays her ex therapist and lover, who is a bit of a comic relief in the movie. The movie is fraught with mystery and suspense, as the story unfolds you'll find yourself hooked until the very end, when Bullock's character unravels the mystery and regains her life. THE NET is a movie that isn't as well regarded as some of her other hit movies like WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, MISS CONGENIALITY or SPEED, but it fits right among them as one of her best. She plays the part really well, of a woman who is terrified to find out that she has lost her identity. A must watch.

Summary: medicore
Review: Sandra Bullock- you either love her or you hate her. I must love her, because I can sit through even her worst movies, this being one of them. She gets into trouble with some computer crap, guys try to kill her blah blah blah. Boring and unoriginal but if youre a Sandra fan like me youll grin and bear it

A friend, whom she's only spoken to over the net and phone, Dale Hessman, sent her a program with a weird glitch for her to debug. That night, he left to meet her and was killed in a plane crash. Angela discovers secret information on the disk she has received only hours before she leaves for vacation. Her life then turns into a nightmare, her records are erased from existence and she is given a new identity, one with a police record.

Summary: Great Geek movie
Review: What do you know, a Geek movie that actually holds it's own! It's very technically accurate and stars Sandra Bullock! She's believable and the film is very interesting. Love how the world revolves around Macintosh in this film (all running what looks like some version of Unix or A/UX perhaps.) Get this film!

Summary: Must see for those not fully aware of what's going on now
Review: I liked this movie when it was first realeased, and I like it still better now, because, afterwards, it looks like some kind of a prophecy. I'm glad Amazon.com is switching to Linux, and I think that anyone having some doubt (but so many gullible...) about Gates/Microsoft intentions with his ".Net" project and/or their way of practicing business would be enlightened after seeing 'The Net'. It's too bad that in 'real life' the government should pretend they are protecting employment by letting loose dictators using virtual tools so they can jeopardize everything you give them access to.....even out of your direct knowledge. See 'The Net', and join the free world with Linux....In a world without fences, you don't need any gates...

Summary: Very Credible Movie
Review: This movie is disturbing in the sense that its scenario, today, is so very real. In comes a computer geek (Bullock) who somehow gets her identity erased because she's on to something big. She's naive enough, which is great cause for getting all worked up about it, and you want to yell at her from the outside to get it together. But there are interesting characters - some you want to live and others you wishes didn't die, and others, of course, you are glad did die. It's a good ride, this movie, and it's recommended.

Summary: high tech thriller
Review: Sandra Bullock stars in this 1995 film as a computer-literate, isolated young woman who even orders dinner (pizza) from her computer--dinner for one. This film came out in early days before so many millions of us were wired and before most of the .com frenzy. The plot unravels at a lively pace and will keep you spellbound in your seat watching as Bullock discovers that her identity has been stolen by hackers. She has to keep a tight grip on her sanity in a world that no longer recognizes her as a person. For awhile she unknowingly aids the hackers, until bit by bit she realizes what is happening. The suspense is worthy of your entertainment time.
