Greetings
everyone!
This movie was produced
in 1995, quite a time. I like the concept of it but it was not as good as I expected.
The plot is slow and I almost feel asleep but its Sandra Bullock we are talking
about. This brilliant idea of John D. Brancato and Michael Ferris brought
computer technology to the whole new level.
Based from imdb
: Angela Bennett lives the life of a computer geek: she works from home as a
contract employee of Cathedral Software as a software analyst, lives a
reclusive life on her computer and as such has few friends or acquaintances who
even know what she looks like. Even her mother, who has Alzheimer's, no longer
recognizes her. Cathedral's fortunes in the computer software world are
increasing with what looks to be the universally used Gatekeeper security
program, which they developed. During a period when Angela is dealing with what
looks to be a virus in one of Cathedral's new games, she takes a vacation to
Mexico. There, she meets the suave Jack Devlin, the two who begin a romance.
But Jack is not all he seems as he tries to kill her, apparently having
something to do with the work issue she is facing. Angela manages to escape
from Jack, but hits larger issues when slowly she realizes that Jack and the
group to which he is tied, who she eventually learns are called the
Praetorians, have stolen her identity, and provided her a new identity with a
criminal history. As Angela tries to find anyone who can vouch for her
assertion of who she really is (with most in authority not believing her story
since their computer systems are protected by the fail-safe Gatekeeper program),
she tries to elude Jack while trying, mostly via computer, to figure out who he
is, why he is trying to kill her, and how to get her identity back.
I think the slow
plot is the only weakness as all the actors and actresses managed to live up
the movie. The bright side of the movie is only when Angela found her identity
and the rest of the part is a nightmare. I can’t imagine if I were at her
place. Got nobody to help.
