I disagree with posters that this movie hasn't aged well. Its come through ok. As a guy in IT in '95, there sure are some whacky takes on what tech a "hacker" would use (WTF, MacOS for hacking?), but but this type of tech kitsch (hot hackeress in a flannel ordering pizza) is all over movies about computers. The tech is mostly representative of '95 though, if that makes you upset, consider it a historical movie :) Other than that, the general story line and acting has held up pretty well, and is even prescient in some ways. Is is a solid 5 or 6 out of 10, yep. Was it ever better? Nope.

the most 90s computers-focused movie ever. loved it

I thought this was decent and pretty prescient at times.

oh wow, this was a funny one to watch for the first time 30 years after it came out. tech really has changed so much but it was fun to laugh at, and reminiscent of a simpler time for the internet. young sandy has my heart, she's always been a believable actress and i seem to fall in love with whoever she plays. i was dying at the scene on the boat when she was panicking at how to get out of the situation. [spoiler]girl we all know english men = the villain.[/spoiler] nothing mind-blowing but fun if you like thrillers, sandra bullock, and/or 90s movies <3

It's a typical 90s thriller, cyberthriller to be exact. When the threat of the internet was a lot more exciting, scary and fantastical. It's ultimately a pretty silly little movie, but it's entertaining throughout.
