Das Netz 2.0

The Net 2.0 is an above average movie for its genre.It is basically the story of a woman who has her identity along with her life stolen,as if she never existed.she must then try to get it back.this movie is not a sequel to the original.in fact it has none of the characters from that movie.nevertheless,it is suspenseful,riveting and action packed.there are of course a few plot twists,some predictable,others not.the acting is more than decent,especially from Nikki Deloach(TV's North Shore) as Hope Cassidy,the main character.She is very credible as a woman who has lost everything.the supporting cast are also strong.the direction is a bit suspect at times,as the director utilizes many jump shots throughout.A jump shot is essentially a type of camera trick.this is used to make the action flashier for the audience.However,it has been done so much before that audiences are mot impressed.minor quibble aside,however,Net 2.0 is overall a well done,entertaining and fun movie.well worth your 90 minutes. 7/10

After watching this, Sony pictures should look itself in the mirror, and ask themselves if any sensible person would check his personal savings from a business class seat in a airplane, and then toss the tablet screen away, with no password security active, just because a stewardess wants to make a chit chat? This movie not only stinks in its story line, any sensible diet coke drinking U.S. patriot knows that these kind of actions are asking for trouble.

Why don't they make The Net 3-1/2, add Linux and MacOS into the game, and create some good laughs? Come on! After how they guillotined any credits of whats left of this genre, why don't create some parody. I give The Net 2.0 4 out of 10, because the actors did a good job, and made the movie endurable.

OK this film (tape?) has a fair few flaws, but not really that many, at least compared with The Net 1. As it mentions in the end credits, the movie was shot entirely on HD Video, something we're going to see a lot more of, and this must have a very significant impact on production costs.

Nevertheless, I can forgive it most of its faults except one. The laughably unrealistic portrayal of computer screens. Why do all Hollywood directors think that computer screens need to have two-inch-high fonts and animated doohickeys all over the place? This sort of movie is inevitably going to be watched by dweebs all over the planet who simply will not put up with this sort of thing.

Takedown, I think, was the only film I've ever seen which had believable computer screens. Given the subject matter, just as well. So why not this one? There is simply no excuse. There are just too many computer-literate ppl out there now, and they all switch off as soon as they spot rubbish like that. It ruins the whole experience. Truly. If not for that, I would have given it an 8 or 9.

Drink a shot each time the voiceover says "hope," and you'll be wasted before the opening scene is over. The main character, Hope, is supposed to be tech-savvy, but one of the first scenes depicts her using a public wi-fi. Pretty soon we realize she (Hope) is an immature, impulsive, arrogant and dim-witted person, and it's a miracle she managed to live this long, so flashing her bank account in front of strangers seemed to be on-brand for her.

She (remember her name? It's Hope) moves to another country, but it turns out her passport is about to expire, so she can't secure a work visa. Surely it happens all the time with adult people traveling for work. The consulate gives her a temporary ID with the wrong name, but instead of returning it to wait for a proper document, she just takes it because why not. Definitely a mature thing to do. Shortly after, chaos ensues, and Hope finds herself robbed of identity by Keegan Connor Tracy (presumably kidnapped from Canada to Turkey and forced to do something even worse than Uwe Boll or Lifetime) and chased by the police. Trying to prove she hadn't committed any crimes, she commits a variety of crimes. While all of this happens, some of the worst "moaning in the desert" middle-easternish score you've ever heard is playing.

At some point there's a 04:20 countdown seen on the screen, which might be a subtle reference to the fact that whoever wrote the script was stoned the entire time, so you shouldn't be surprised that there's, for example, a scene where Hope basically asks a "supercomputer" to hack itself, which it does because why not.

I don't see why is the movie being called slow for any reason. The plot line does take it's base from the first movie, but this movie, i.e. 2.0 is totally different from the first one. Heck, Bullock's character doesn't face language issues.

I agree that the movie has some glitches, but overall, I think the movie is even better than the first version. If I have to say, the first movie too had an excellent plot, but it was overshadowed by Sandra Bullock herself. And in that movie, you already knew the person behind the Net Trap.

This movie however maintains it's suspense. Without divulging any more, I'll just say that the movie is a must watch....
