‘The Fugitive’ Meets AOL
Nostalgia may play a large part of my positive feelings towards this film as I watched it repeatedly on video with my younger sister as a teen. Back then “the net” was a new and largely undiscovered frontier, and this film romanticized hackers and the seemingly mysterious world wide web.I would liken this to a less ambitious version of ‘The Fugitive’, a film that released two years prior (and by most accounts a superior thriller). Much of what happens in the course of this film is standard fare, but it is presented with a semblance of realism and never seems to hit any lulls or real snags in rhythm despite the frenetic pacing. The plot isn’t entirely plausible or devoid of clichés, but it remains interesting from start to finish, and Bullock carries the role well.
There are scattered scenes that show astute directing on the part of Irwin Winkler, though some of the secondary characters give uneven performances. However, Bullock does an admirable service at depicting a frumpy insular woman uncomfortable with her own sexuality and outer beauty. Her character is both resourceful and vulnerable at once, and it’s a fresh pace to see a female lead with some layers to peel back in a genre dominated by men. Dennis Miller is very likable in his role, and ably acts the part with a more downplayed version of his real life persona. He was my favorite character by far and brought a lot of warmth to the role.
I’m usually very critical of any movies I see, and am generally turned off by standard Hollywood fodder, but there is a certain charm to ‘The Net’ that I can’t deny. I liked it in ’95, and I like it again almost twenty years later. Like visiting an old friend, there’s a familiarity to it that is so hopelessly 90’s and so reminiscent of a bygone era–the inception of the internet age–that it carries a certain weight to me unmatched by the multitude of forgettable popcorn thrillers of the decade.
Cyber-thriller has a few internal glitches, but it keeps on running.
This isn’t a bad movie thriller to keep you off the Internet for two hours, but can you take the risk? THE NET sounds unconvincing since our love of computers and cyber-sputting expresses what the story is all about, and a possible fad to recognize. Thankfully, it does attempt to bring some raw suspense that is head-and-shoulders above other lame films that contend to “artificial communication”. Once again, Sandra Bullock knows how to keep her fans happy, and even though it’s no “chick-flick”, she’s still the likeable character inside. This time, she’s stalked in a game of cat-and-mouse and becomes ruined by an identity crisis. Even with the brand new concept of cyberware, that’s just normal for a suspense thriller. An old, traditional “chase” plot gives the movie a blip on the screen, but the story is greatly paced and exciting enough to increase your pulse rate to rapid highs. The computer mess is the biggest fuss some viewers will have in common, including all those not used to this new style. A good shot at a modernization of mystery-suspense films, but you know exactly what to predict here. Why the new TV series?
