If The Net were not a film and were used for catching fish I think it would be a poor showing. The whole thing is flatter than a pancake which has just been paid a visit by a steam-roller. It\’s a wonder after this film that Bullock and Northam weren\’t considered for a sequel to Mannequin where shop dummies come to life and take over Hollywood, they\’re so wooden.
Angela Bennet\’s plight did I suppose keep me watching until the end, but this kind of thing has been done so much better elsewhere: Enemy Of The State for one. It\’s not overly gripping, has the pace of a hobbled seaside donkey and at 110 minutes overstays it\’s welcome by a long stretch.
