The Net 2.0

The conclusion is simple, watch this promo film for Turkey with a slight story, and all clichés will pass one by one.

The chases are not state of the art. A small car chase with no surprises, some running, some more running.

The flash backs and flash forwards started to annoy me, just as the characters and their roles which weren't a surprise at the end.

Sandra Bullock's trailer was on the DVD as well, and I have to say: watch the Net trailer for even more action and entertainment.

Not too bad for a B-movie, don't expect anything new or refreshing. IT people like myself will of course see through the technical terms, but who'll watch for that purpose ;)

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.

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....

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.

When I purchased The NET & "Net 2.0" DVD-box I tought that I'm buying one mediocre movie (1), and one sh*tty movie: "2.0". But thanks to heavens that also "2.0" was better than advertised.

After watching the movie, it was quite entertaining. Nice acting and nice scenery, Of course the theme of the movie was little bit repeating from the original "The Net", but then again.. its permitted, it's "2.0".. and you cant make sequel without repeating the theme of identify theft on sequel, can you? In the end, I Think that this movie is slightly better than first one (not lots of, but barely, see it yourself). Because it's more fresher than 1995 movie.

6/10, don't judge the book by it's covers.
