Goofs:
Factual errors: Right before discovering Bergstrom's mis-diagnosis of Aids, she connects to a system using the telnet command with an email address that was written on a card she had taken from Devlin's wallet. It is impossible to establish a connection using telnet with an email address. The only way to connect using telnet is with a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP address (and/or a TCP port number). Once the telnet connection is established, you can however login to a system using an email address.See more »
Quotes:
Jack:I reckon you've got to try a few things in life without a safety net. How else are you gonna know you're alive?
Angela:Well, I take my share of risks. Uh-huh. Um, I don't always floss. I rip the tags off my pillows.

Silly suspense, 9 February 2003
Author: John (J-Eire) from Cork, Ireland

Made and released at the time when the internet was just becoming huge, this is a storyline Hitchcock would have loved.

Sadly, Hitchcock wasn't around to make it, and we're left with an occasionally suspenseful but mostly silly thriller, that is held (barely) together by Bullock's intelligence.

It was released in 1995 but is already dated, and the amount of mistakes and inaccuaracies regarding computers must be seen to be believed, and you don't even have to be a dot.com person to spot them!
