GOOD MOVIE EXCEPT LANGUAGE
March 23, 1999. I would give this movie a higher rating but I am afraid I could not condone the constant use of swearing.It was not necessary as the brilliant plot and use of camera angles and intricate character developments resulted in all the suspense that was necessary. If it is realistic to have people swearing every time they turn around then I suppose they were staying true to the characters, but I still felt a bit annoyed at the constant barrage of unrequired swearing.

JUST VICTIMS IN THE SYSTEM
Feb 27, 1999. It was a really exciting film. And it shows that technology have much power. There is no more private life and many people don`t know that. And data protection exists just as a word.

And so we`re just the victims in this system. --Kathrin (Austria)

EXCITING FROM BEGINING TO END
Feb 17 1999, I saw the film today, and I think it's not a good feeling to know, what methods of observing are possible. Big brother is really watching us, and there's nothing you can do against. To the film: It's a really exciting movie from the begin till the end. -–Juergen

REMINISCENT OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK
I thought it was reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock type thriller, with Will Smith playing a type of Jimmy Stewart role, one not adverse to the situation he finds himself in, and who makes mistates (the dreaded telephone call!!) but in the end, one who uses his ingenuity to turn the impossible situation around. Gene Hackman is vintage Gene Hackman. What more needs to be said? Will Smith is becoming a superstar. Suspenseful until the very end! I will probably buy this when it comes out on video.
