Amazon.com:
The Net, the first of Hollywood's big cyberthrillers of the mid-1990s, was also the most successful, thanks in large part to the natural appeal of star Sandra Bullock. Still riding high from Speed and While You Were Sleeping, Bullock plays a computer expert victimized by sinister cyberforces who steal her identity for reasons unknown. It's a clever combination of high-tech paranoia and Hitchcockian references (including Jeremy Northam as a romantic stranger named Devlin, after Cary Grant in Notorious). Film historians may look back someday on films like this--Roger Ebert calls them 'hacksploitation'--to see what they reveal about our society's reaction to the increasing role of technology in our lives, just as we now study the fears of Communism and the atom bomb reflected in films of the 1950s. Dennis Miller and Diane Baker costar. --Jim Emerson

I first came across this movie over a month ago, and now I am on Amazon buying it because it is not sold in any stores in my area due to it being from 1995. This is an excellent cyber-thriller. I am a computer analyst myself and technology has changed a lot since then; however, Sandra Bullock blows this part out of the water. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Sandra Bullock, Suspense, Thriller, and Technology.
Rating:  - Crazy 56K action!
The Net (1995) is a movie that may have been ominous and clever back when computers were relatively unknown and 56K modems were lightning fast, but within ten years, much like ten-year old computer technology, it has become severely dated.
Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) is a reclusive, paranoid computer expert who fixes virus problems for game manufacturers. The highlight of her evenings consists of pizza ordered online and some cyber-banter with guys living in their mom's basements. Her idea of a dream-man is, "butch, beautfiul, brilliant, Captain America meets Albert Schweitzer who spends all day dashing into fray while making the world safe for democracy, at night play Bach cantatas while curing cancer"
She has recently discovered a new, cheesy game called Mozart's Ghost. When in the program, she holds down ctrl-shift and clicks on a pi symbol icon that takes her to secret information on secure mainframes throughout the internet. Oh, and this whole thing is on an old-school 3.5 inch floppy. Riiiiiiiight.
Well, no big deal because she's going on a beach vacation the next day, and she could care less about the program or the virus. Of course, she's not safe from those who would cyberstalk her just because she's on a remote beach. Their plan to take care of Angela Bennett is to accomplish the first case of identity theft in history, starting a trend that would soon scare thousands of old woman who would otherwise fall victim to Nigerian prince scammers ...

I loved this movie so much I downloaded it off Limewire and emailed it to twenty-thousand of my best friends!
Rating:  - Just watch it for Sandy.
The Net starring Sandra Bullock was a great thriller when it was released in 1995. Bullock was at the height of her career and this film was probably only a hit for that reason alone. And yes I was and still a huge fan of Bullock but I have to admit The Net is very dated and silly now. The plotline is a little far fetched and contrived but Bullock's spunky and fearless performance saves this boring little film.
Rating:  - what a waste.
The movie wasn't good and the disc they sent didnt even work. It would cost me more to send it back than the actual movie cost. NOT worth the money.
