Riddled with more coincidences and implausibilities than Hitchcock permitted himself in his entire career, The Net still gets by as a reasonably suspenseful, very au courant thriller.

The Net is never quite as sleek and chilling as it might have been, but it gives the old story of a wrongly accused innocent a nerve-wracking 90's twist.

A strong enough suspense thriller, a high-tech version of one of those spiraling nightmares in which an innocent person is chased by assassins and wanted by the police.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The story is standard issue pepped up with a sampling of smart computer talk to give the impression the characters know what they're talking about.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
