'Silence of the Lambs' style thriller, with a cyber edge. It's mostly standard stuff. The methods of death are intriguing, but the killer is not.

Incredibly weak & at times even laughable. "The more hits his site gets the faster the victim dies" that actually says it all. That, along with the film being set up for Diane Lane to be the hero by making every other character an idiot - Please!

Interesting but misguided attempt at a cyberthriller. I understand the intentions, but making this kind of movie defeats the purpose of whatever message was trying to be sent.

A movie in the same tradition of the Saw series. Not as graphic which was nice because that is what turns me off in these movies. Instead the movie gets its chills by making you wonder what will happen next -- not what torture will I have to look away from. Diane Lane is good as usual, and plays a convincing computer investigator for the FBI. Usually these movies piss me off because they talk about computer technology as if the person watching it is a retard. But this one kind of keeps things vague so you don't get hung up on the specifics. Overall a decent thriller, but you can do better with trillers like Identity, Se7en and Frailty.

A slick, but sometimes unpleasant thriller with an unconvincing finale; Lane is good in an underwritten role, but it never feels as believable as it should. Final Grade: C+
