Do You Exist if the Internet Erases You?
Anyone who has ever been trapped in voice-mail hell -- when a computer-generated voice answers the phone and gives five minutes of options you cant escape -- will latch onto the neat, technophobic idea behind The Net. Sandra Bullock, as a meek computer expert named Angela Bennett, stumbles across a program so powerful it can tamper with Wall Street, air-traffic control and the Federal Government.

Her fingerprints, Social Security number and picture I.D. are transferred to someone else, and Angela Bennett vanishes. If the computers say you dont exist, how can you prove that you do? This paranoid fantasy is so resonant that it makes The Net an enjoyably creepy thriller, even though Irwin Winkler belongs to the nothing-is-too-obvious school of directing.
