    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Jack (Jeremy Northam) wraps his handkerchief around Angela's (Sandra Bullock's) bare midriff, it borrows directly from the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Notorious - kohtalon avain (1946), wherein Cary Grant does the same thing to Ingrid Bergman, cautioning her that without it, she might catch cold.
    • Goofs
      When searching for Praetorian, Angela searches for the owner of IP address: 24.75.345.200 This address would be impossible on the Internet because no subnet address can be greater than 255. This has been reported as a goof, but it was surely deliberate by the filmmakers. It would be very poor practice to show a genuine, usable IP address, because the present or future owner of that address would undoubtedly be subject to massive flooding, ranging from spam to actual malicious hacking attempts. This writer noted the same fact at "Swordfish" in the Trivia section, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244244/trivia.
    • Quotes

      Angela: Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer, everything: your, your DMV records, your, your social security, your credit cards, your medical records. It's all right there. Everyone is stored in there. It's like this little electronic shadow on each and everyone of us, just, just begging for someone to screw with, and you know what? They've done it to me, and you know what? They're gonna do it to you.

    Ordering pizza's online in 1995
    This is one of those movies I loved as a kid. I gave it another watch now that it's on Netflix but sadly didn't live up to my memory. The movie has an interesting premise, especially for 1995: everything we do or own is just data on a computer. What if someone decides to change all that? It's a cool idea but it's not executed well with very little excitement.

    Still, some things I learned:
    • You could order a pizza on the net in '95
    • You could already book a plane
    • You only had a fancy BMW if it had a carphone
    • She's using an Apple, I should have bought apple shares in '95
    • Sandra Bullock was really hot in '95. Probably the main reason I loved it as an adolescent
