Wizard-8
Haven't we all seen this premise before? Namely, a stranger coming into the lives of a good person (or people), and at first is nice, but soon starts to show some really creepy attributes that eventually spill over into sociopathic actions. Well, actually, I wouldn't mind seeing this premise all over again had it been done with enough fresh new traits and imaginative execution. But "I.T." doesn't contain very much that's original. Although the movie has a high tech theme, even this has been done before in other movies. And don't get me started on the climax, which is so unimaginative and cliched instead of being more creative. The icing on the cake is a concluding sequence what will have you asking, "Is that it?", since it is so unsatisfying. To be fair, the movie is decently made with what couldn't have been a megabudget, and some of the performances are fine (though Pierce Brosnan's acting seems a big constipated at times). But for the most part, the movie doesn't offer enough variety from the hundreds of other times you've seen this same basic story before.

I.T. is a very well-acted and well-directed hi-tech thriller. The story line is not common and the overall movie is fast-paced. It's an obsession thriller, but not in the same style as most obsession flicks.I.T. is one of those already forgotten flicks and is very underrated. Judging by the title it's obvious that technology is the focal point. Even if you're not into technology - you will still probably like this movie.If you still haven't seen this film and love thrillers, I.T. is worth giving a chance.

I had high hopes for this movie. Alright, not high but decent! Pierce Brosnan rarely give a poor performance and James Frecheville had just the right amount of crazy in his character, so the layup was alright.Although there is nothing in this film I can view as a "oh that was a first"-moment or a truly climactic moment when it all just comes together. Every part of it, EVERY part of it feel like it's taken from the "Moviemaking for dummies"-manual. Even Brosnans accent was all over the place, for the first 20 min I didn't get why the Irishman was playing a Canadian without background about it.Everything from the job story to the kid and the "old man wanting to go back to a simpler time" was just bad. Don't see the movie, if you've seen other movies you've seen this one without wasting 90 minutes of your life.The main reason I didn't turn it off to see something else was the stubborn hope that it would come some sort of twist at the end. But I guess the twist was that it ended just as you'd expect after seeing the first 10 min.Michael Nyqvist does play his part really well and the moral fiber concerning the problems you face if you put all of your life online makes this a 3 star rating for me.

The trailer and concept of the movie really reeled me in; I love advanced technology movies. Although the idea wasn't too bad and had potential the execution was terrible. This movie just raised my blood pressure. Really unrealistic, terrible acting, unrealistic decision making by the victim, etc. I would definitely not recommend this movie to anyone.
