I.T.

Well this one is a leaf in the forest, if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Sure there are a few things that set this movie aside from the many others that are pretty much just like it, but not enough to care. It's worth checking out if it's on late night cable and you haven't seen it yet. But I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this. Overall it's not bad, it's filmed decently enough, the acting isn't junk, there is some story here, but it's all cut from the same predictable cloth as with many movies like it. So like I said check it out if nothing else is on and you can't sleep, won't be the worst movie you've ever seen, but won't make it into your top 20 either, well maybe if you like the same old. It gets a 4.5 out of 10.

"Privacy isn't a right, it's a privilege." Mike Regan (Brosnan) is a very successful businessman with a loving family. He is just about to make his company go public. When a glitch occurs that threatens everything an I.T. temp named Ed (Frecheville) steps up and saves the day. He and Mike begin a friendship and business partnership, but when Ed starts to overstep things change. Ed takes offense and threatens not only Mike's business but his family as well. This is a movie I wanted to watch because I really like Pierce Brosnan. The more I watched the more I liked the movie itself. The movie is tense and realistic, especially in today's connected world. This movie will make you think twice about how you use technology. That being said, this was almost just a remake of the movie Fear. I liked that one too but they are very similar in tone and feel. Overall, a tense and updated version of Fear, if you liked that one you will love this. I really enjoyed this and recommend it. I give it a B+.

I never came to the theater with great expectations of this one. It just follows an already known path and delivers nothing special to be remembered for. The acting is on a similar level, maybe the antagonist stood out a bit more than the others, but not by a huge margin.

The plot was linear and did not offer very much to begin with. It had some illogical things happening too. Felt rushed to me. The ending was unsatisfying and did not provide much to complete the movie.

Something was missing between the first act of the movie and the second act - the transition was not smooth. The story of the antagonist was given out so lamely that it made exhale more air than usual... It could've been done better. Everything could have been done better, might've ended with an okay movie to spend some time on.

Unsettling movie. 6/10 (I mainly rate movies from 5 to 10 so this is really low for me)

This is a bizarre movie -- for reasons few will notice. It's a thriller about a wealthy man who founded and is CEO of a big private jet manufacturing company. Quite rich, Brosnan gets entangled with a deranged computer hacker working as an I.T. temp in his company. It's perhaps a mediocre movie, but I was transfixed by the tale.

You see, this wealthy CEO -- seeking to make much more money by taking the company public -- was the GOOD GUY. His employees really liked him, and they had a great working relationship.

I can't recall the last movie I watched where a profit-seeking wealthy person was the hero. I kept expecting his fatal capitalist flaw to appear -- uncontrollable greed, yada, yada, yada. It didn't happen.

(Yeah, Bruce Wayne was wealthy, but never do you hear him discussing making more money. Just giving his daddy's money away, making more Batman toys -- and living large.)

I'm not necessarily recommending the movie to you, but perhaps it's worth seeing JUST for this "man bites dog" reason. It's a reminder that it's not ABSOLUTELY necessary for movie makers to always portray rich people as villains.

One thing's for sure -- it won't start a trend in movies. Not a chance.

This film tells the story of a successful businessman, who hires a young man good at information technology. When the businessman wants to set boundaries with his young employee, things quickly sour and turn dangerous.

I think this story reminds us of the dangers of sharing too much on the internet. It is a fairly convincing story of how cyber stalking occurs and just how scary it can be. What I don't understand is why the businessman initially invites the employee to have a drink but subsequently wants to set a boundary. This minor inconsistency could have been easily rectified, and the story would have been even more tight and convincing. At the current state, "I.T." is still a good thriller that keeps me interested throughout.
