Some elements were taken from a 1978 comic book serial, 'Strange Apparitions', written by Steve Englehart. The villains were the Joker and the Penguin, and Rupert Thorne and Barbara Gordon were also to appear.

Like visiting an old friend, there's a familiarity to it that is so hopelessly 90's and so reminiscent of a bygone era-the inception of the internet age-that it carries a certain weight to me unmatched by the multitude of forgettable popcorn thrillers of the decade.The first draft of this movie was written in 1980 by Супермен (1978) co-writer Tom Mankiewicz, and told the story of Batman's and Robin's origins. I liked it in '95, and I like it again almost twenty years later. I'm usually very critical of any movies I see, and am generally turned off by standard Hollywood fodder, but there is a certain charm to 'The Net' that I can't deny. He was my favorite character by far and brought a lot of warmth to the role. Dennis Miller is very likable in his role, and ably acts the part with a more downplayed version of his real life persona.

Her character is both resourceful and vulnerable at once, and it's a fresh pace to see a female lead with some layers to peel back in a genre dominated by men. However, Bullock does an admirable service at depicting a frumpy insular woman uncomfortable with her own sexuality and outer beauty. There are scattered scenes that show astute directing on the part of Irwin Winkler, though some of the secondary characters give uneven performances. The plot isn't entirely plausible or devoid of clichés, but it remains interesting from start to finish, and Bullock carries the role well. Much of what happens in the course of this film is standard fare, but it is presented with a semblance of realism and never seems to hit any lulls or real snags in rhythm despite the frenetic pacing. I would liken this to a less ambitious version of 'The Fugitive', a film that released two years prior (and by most accounts a superior thriller). Back then 'the net' was a new and largely undiscovered frontier, and this film romanticized hackers and the seemingly mysterious world wide web.

Nostalgia may play a large part of my positive feelings towards this film as I watched it repeatedly on video with my younger sister as a teen.
