À propos de ce film

Sandra Bullock, Dennis Miller and Jeremy Northam star in this hit thriller about a computer expert whose life is "erased" by a computer conspiracy. A freelance software analyst, Angela Bennett, is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous conspiracy when a client asks her to de-bug a CD-ROM game. Soon the client turns up dead and Angela is next on the hit-list. After the assassins obliterate her official identity, Angela realizes hers is not the only life being destroyed on the Net. Like the best Hitchcock, THE NET builds tension to unbearable heights until "this edge of your seat nail-biter explodes with suspense. Sandra Bullock is sensational."

Notes et avis

Although this movie predicts a problem that is commonly an issue today, identity theft, the story is just told in such a ridiculous manner that it turns technology into magic that can do anything you want. I'm really surprised that this movie spawned a TV series and a sequel. But I think that's largely to do with the power of Bullock! Turn your thinking caps off for this one, and drool your way through nineties-nostalgia.
