When I first watched this movie I was busy and half-way paying attention to the movie. I had the same negative opinion as some of the other posted reviews. I am a devoted Andrew McCarthy fan (I own all of his movies, yes even this one) and love to watch him act
I thought to myself, "Maybe it's not so bad so I'll give it another try". So I watched the movie again, this time paying attention, and it was not really that bad of a movie average I'd say. It was not the best movie I'd ever seen but it was not bad either. As for the earlier comments that McCarthy can't pull off the "villain role", I totally disagree (but then again, I'm extremely partial to McCarthy's performances). He plays the villain just fine
I do admit that his specialty is seducing, kissing, and making love to a woman on the screen (and there is No close second in that category) but he can pull off the villain in any role he is cast to do so.

Geez, couldn't they find a competent technical expert who knows at least SOMETHING about computers when they make a computer movie? I could find a 12 year-old who could have fixed the zillions of plot holes. One of these days Hollywood writers will learn that SILICONE was in breast implants, not computer chips (it's SILICON, stupid!) And the "computer" company headquarters building with a box office (I guess they sell tickets for tours!) Rutger Hauer (who looks HORRIBLE in this movie - who dressed him?) should ask any fourth grader about how many bytes there are in a megabyte (1,048,576 bytes, not 144,000.) I've never seen a movie use so much ammo without hitting anyone! And I guess the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg does not have CLASS (Custom Local Area Signalling Services) with caller ID and call trace. I'll never figure why anyone would have spent money to make such dreck. Insipid, inane, stupid, oh, let me count the adjectives! (by the way - which police department keeps booze in the fridge for everyone to nip at? And where is this hetero rubber/leather dance club in Silicon Valley?) This now tops my list of awful movies - yes, even worse than U.S. SEALS!

Probably the worst film I've ever seen. Totally ludicrous plot, appalling continuity, gross overacting. And that's the film's good points. How a respected actress like Tara Fitzgerald got involved in this dross is beyond belief. It's no wonder there is no 'goofs' page as it would probably overload the IMDb database. One to definitely miss.

There's no way around it. New World Disorder is just not a good movie. The acting is terrible. The story is yawn inspiring. The action scenes are so badly staged that they make Roger Corman look like the Wachowski Brothers. Don't get me wrong, I like Rutger Hauer, despite the fact that he's a bit long in the tooth for an action movie. I also am a sucker for a good "Computer punks steal a priceless program that everyone will kill for" story, but this one just doesn't live up to the genre. Perhaps there is a dearth of good entertainment elsewhere in the world, but here in the USA, there ain's nothin' splendid about New World Disorder.
