Interesting in places, ridiculous in others, and the classic problem: a totally mishandled ending. Sandra Bullock can't act, she has the same expression throughout the film, and her climactic and oft-repeated acting feat is tucking her hair behind her ears. It’s a weak film, but it doesn’t piss you off, so two stars.

A naïve thriller about the pernicious power of computers and computer terrorists... The theme is interesting, but technically not thought through... Even the plot is not much better, which, true, is quite exciting at times, but basically quite readable and unbalanced. Technical design – average to below average. Sandra Bullock earned the film a third star... and she is simply cute. That's what I call an argument, friends...

Sandra Bullock and her computer escapades, that's the only thing this movie has going for it, and that's unfortunately a big mistake. Bullock is unconvincing and simply not a good actress (or at least not here), and the computer issue itself is handled in a ridiculously stupid way. Not are many of operations performed practically impossible (how can she start a fire prevention system in a state-of-the-art skyscraper with just a few clicks? How can she send an email to the FBI headquarters at a computer exhibition?), but the way they are performed is very hard to believe. The only explanation I see is that at the time of its creation, computer technology was not nearly as widespread in households, so they could somehow deceive the audience. Unfortunately, that doesn't work today.
