But when his best friend, Teddy, is brutally murdered and clues lead to N.U.R.V`s involvement, Milo becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth. With his cunning and beautiful girlfriend (Forlani) and a sexy programmer (Cook) to help him, Milo races to beat Teddy`s murderers at their own cyber game.

    Your Opinions and Comments

    8 / 10
    The movie was titled as "a clever paranoid thriller". For once, I totally agree. It`s very rhythmic, thrilling and high-tech.
    Both Phillipe and Robbins are doing very good jobs.
    The video transfer is excellent. The movie looks very high-techi, thus not having any compression signs. All the computer related visuals look really great.
    The DD 5.1 soundtrack is excellent as well. The surrounds are used both for sound effects and music. The music itself is really good. Notice the music in the opening scene - the 6 distinct channels can be easily noticed.
    The menus are beautifully animated with sound.
    The extras include a commentary, a behind the scenes look, 7 deleted scenes (including an alternate opening and ending) and a music video.
    Bottom line - a great movie that looks good, sounds good and makes a lot of sense nowadays.
