Good Movies to watch

Reviewed by Bobby Bankston, 2009-04-09

This was a good movie to watch, however not as good as the first Net.

Way better than I expected!

This movie was superb! I was anticipating some cheap, boring movie with crap special effects--boy was I wrong!

Right off the bat, the movie began with a chase scene with great music and effects. Things didn't die down either! There was plentiful amounts of action throughout the entire move with little down time like many low-budget movies. Like others said, the movie is similar to the original movie, but a tid bit more modern.

I do have to complain about Nikki DeLoach (as Hope Cassidy) though. Her acting was not the best, but it was still good. It annoyed me when she screamed because I could tell she was faking it. Other than that, she was great--what would one expect from a low budget film anyways?

Also, the ending was far from predictable! I NEVER would have thought ********* **** ***** ***.

DON'T be afraid to purchase this movie. If you think it is going to be some cheap, crap movie, it is far from it! I am surprised this movie was a direct-to-video--it was more than worthy of hitting theaters.

"The Net 2.0": Updated with Recycled Materials

Reviewed by Tsuyoshi, 2007-02-02

The greatest thing about "The Net: 2.0" is the location. The film was shot in Turkey (entirely on HD video) and the city of Istanbul provides a very colorful and exotic backdrop to the story which is just predictable, often impossible and not very thrilling.

The film follows an American computer security expert Nikki Cassidy (Nikki Deloach) who finds a new job in Istanbul. She needs a change; needs something different, something very exciting. Nikki flies to Turkey, leaving her reluctant boyfriend behind, and there she is wrongly accused of the murders by the local authority.

`The Net: 2.0" uses so many clichéd narrative and visual techniques taken from other better thrillers including its original: flashbacks, voiceovers, fast-forwards and jump-cuts, mysterious (and unreliable) strangers, stolen IDs and high-tech machines. Director Charles Winkler gives bits of car chase here, hand-to-hand fights there, and some tricks using James Bond-like hand-made gadgets in between.

Still we are not excited at all. But how can we? The film totally forgets to explain certain important things. Why doesn't she just phone someone in the US? Being a computer expert who actually meets clients, Nikki must know someone who can help her. How was the money withdrawn from her bank account? And most of all, as to the mastermind of this conspiracy, why not bribe her (or someone else) instead of preparing intricate setups?

`The Net 2:0" shows several great aerial shots and beautiful landscapes of the city. the detailed shots of the streets and buildings of the city are in fact much better than the main plot and character themselves.

Very Complicated..

Well... From the beginning its understandable but then it gets a little complicated but not boring!!!

So if u wanna watch it just watch it and then u decide.

A tense suspense

The best way to approach the Net 2.0 is as its own movie. It is very different from and can not be compared to Bullock's The Net. It was more similar to the Bourne Identity, only with the identity theft of a normal every day person instead of the amnesia of a lethal operative. What would the average person do, in a foreign country with no one to turn to? How can she salvage her stolen life, with everything she has ever known ripped away from her? The movie opens with a chase scene, an American woman in Istanbul running from the police. The story of how she got to that point in her life unfolds from there as she narrates, putting in the details as she goes along. This is a very effective tool for increasing suspense. Looking back in hindsight wondering about her every contact, the tension mounts throughout. This was an excellent intelligent action movie.
