Amazon.co.uk Review

For a while The Net looked like it was going to be quickly outdated by the technology it showcased. But now we know that anyone can personalise their systems and Internet search engines, so the colourful displays endlessly intercut on Sandra Bullock's screens look perfectly contemporary. As a movie, the concept was already outdated by the time of its 1995 release, however. The plot takes pains to emulate the style and formula of a Hitchcock chase thriller. There's a computer disc "McGuffin" being sought after by conspiratorial baddies; while the lonely hero on the run is eminently sympathetic yet attractively flawed. Bullock, though, was perfectly cast at a point well before her star status took over. Although some of the suspense contrivances may seem simplistically predictable, there's an undeniable fascination in the theme of losing one's identity. Everywhere Bullock turns she's faced with either a bald reflection or mirroring metaphor of how the computer age strips us of individuality. And, indeed, privacy. Sooner or later, the technology will become outdated of course. Until then, be careful how you surf.

On the DVD: The Net comes to disc in Dolby 5.1 sound and widescreen 1.85:1. It's hard to choose between the two commentaries included. Both the Writer's and the joint talk from the Director and Producer are crammed with anecdotal reference (with a little overlap). Then there are two documentaries of about 20 minutes each, but here the newest is by far the most interesting. Trailers and filmographies fill out the package. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars Collector's edition general review, 9 Jan 2003
Since the movie has been reviwed before I'm going to talk first about the special features of this collector's edition DVD. All the ususal options are there like chapter selection and trailer but this DVD also has two 20 min clips "Making-of: Inside the Net" and "The Net: from script to screen" where it contains some interviews of the actors and director. As for the movie for those that haven't read the story before is about a programmer(debugger) Angela Bennet (Sandra Bullock) that works from home and doesn't have any friends either so nobody really knows her. One day accidentaly she discovers a hacking program (hole on a firewall) placed there by an organization, the Pretorians. The pretorians change her ID, crminal record etc into a criminal named Ruth Marx and she is fighting to get her life back while staying alive at the same time.

This review is from: The Net [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
If you like Computers, Internet anyting to do with computers. Then you will love this film. This film has got everthing a computer expert (Sandra Bullock). Has been sent a computer disk but when she installs it she finds that it's a group of computer hackers main frame and if gives her access to anything that is infected with the gate keeper Program. When these hackers find out about this they close all her bank accounts, change her ID and give her a Police record. Well as you can see I love this film so if your this far then click 'add to the backet' you won't be sorry, box office smash. I have it in VHS but it is availabe in DVD so get what you want. Enjoy :)
