Good film, Sandra Bullock can do no wrong. Plays every part so well

Nothing special but if you need a thriller, this will do!

Rick Anthony McArthur

Def' 1 of Sandy's very best films! Outstanding story & a learning curve I took 2 ♥️, in keeping well out of the business of credit cards!😯

Surprisingly intense. Way better than I was expecting. Sandra is brilliant as usual.

Bullock does well but the story and some of the other actors are so wooden and square.

Terrible movie, Sandra can’t save this mess

Comically disconnected from any kind reality. Like a bunch of executives told some writers to make Bullock “do some hacking or something”

Very dated but a true tech thriller for it's time. Doesnt hold up 2 decades later.

Nothing wrong with it except a little dated now.

Great 90s Bullock thriller... From today's pov the "futuristic" use of computers feels a little funny, but still a good watch! Enjoyed it!
