These two reviewers have diverging opinions on this flick, so rather than providing a single review, we'll go for a conversation between Gell and Goel...
...GOEL: Could we stay on the subject of reviewing The Net; and not talk about a 10-year-old movie no one cares about anymore? And when you do talk about The Net all you can mention, like the Neanderthal you are, is "Ugggh, Sandra Bullock...
...GOEL: Getting back to the subject, I think The Net is a good movie. I'll give you it's not a classic, but then neither is Jumping Jack Flash. The Net shows the WWW on the cutting edge.
