Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A thriller without thrills.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
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.

fresh:
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.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
fresh:
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,
18 Jun 2002
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.
