Flimsy, far-fetched, but spunky and attractive, 11 May 2002
6/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Sandra Bullock is very appealing as an unloved independent systems analyst who unknowingly gets ahold of a disk that could bring worldwide chaos; pretty soon, she's dodging bad guys, running from the cops and putting her allies in danger(Dennis Miller, who is surprisingly good). Despite a penchant for filming mouths close-up, Irwin Winkler has directed a very fast, fun technical-thriller in which charming Bullock is bounced from one nightmare to another. I loved the way she gets out of a building swarming with security: she dons a fireman's outfit and escapes, but then the bad guys see a nicely piled fireman's outfit(and helmet!)sitting on the sidewalk and yell, "She's getting away!" Just one example of how this movie is so completely brainless, but yet entertaining enough on a non-think level that you tell yourself not to notice. You'll hate yourself in the morning, though... **1/2 from ****
