Amy Adler Hope Cassidy (Nikki DeLoach) is a fine computer expert, living in California. Once very shy, Hope has been in love with a gentleman for six beautiful months. But, one day, she has a restlessness and decides it would be good for the couple to move to Istanbul, where she will have a short-term job that pays very well. Boypal doesn't buy it, refuses to go and warns her that its probably a bad choice. Perhaps she should have listened! But, she boards a plane with a first class ticket. The flight crew fawns over her, Hope is even given a lovely bracelet by attendant Roxalena. Yet, her nightmare begins upon landing in the old, old city. To begin, her new boss has not sent anyone to meet her flight, although a kind cab driver takes her under his wing. After checking into her hotel, she finds there are complications with her passport, her bank account, and other pieces of identification. It soon becomes apparent that someone has stolen her identity and given her a new name. Although she starts work for the new company, after only an hour she is ordered out of the building when she can't provide the correct passport. Then, all too soon, a large sum of money comes up missing and is related to Hope's brief time at the new firm. Soon the Russian mafia, Interpol, and lots of others are after Hope, causing her to be on the run throughout the city. She even takes refuge for a brief time in a mosque, where the Whirling Dervishes are twirling! Yet, she is captured. What will her fate be? This is a pretty lame sequel to Sandra Bullock's very fine The Net. DeLoach isn't a bad performer but the material is not so great. There is one implausibility after another, although parts of the film ape the first movie. Hope is questioned for hours, Hope finds the woman who now has her stolen identify. The other cast members are not well known but the Turkish actors are a joy. The biggest asset is definitely the setting, where those of us who will never board a plane get an eyeful of Istanbul. But, this is hardly the best ingredient for a thriller! If you are a huge fan of the original flick or are an expert in computer technology, you might want to sit this one through. Otherwise, there is probably no reason to "net" this movie for an evening's entertainment.

decemberangel1286 Some of the movie was hard to understand at first but as you get into the film its easy to understand. Some of the Cast was good, The lady who plays Roxelina who is with Interpol poses as a stewardess and befriends Hope. Roxelina is a good woman who should have gotten a nomination for best supporting actress for the film. Nikki Deloache did a wonderful job as Hope Cassidy, her boyfriend James was a total phony balonga pretending to be in love with Hope and fighting with her because she wanted to have an adventure and he didn't want to go while getting close to her to get her information to steal her identity what a snake.The way the movie starts is confusing, and makes you want to fall asleep. I would recommend the movie to anyone who likes high pack action. The plot could have been executed better, and some of the cast never should been cast and the names of characters were terrible except for Roxelina and Hope. ZZ? Kelly? Give me a break.

bernie-122 OK this film (tape?) has a fair few flaws, but not really that many, at least compared with The Net 1. As it mentions in the end credits, the movie was shot entirely on HD Video, something we're going to see a lot more of, and this must have a very significant impact on production costs.Nevertheless, I can forgive it most of its faults except one. The laughably unrealistic portrayal of computer screens. Why do all Hollywood directors think that computer screens need to have two-inch-high fonts and animated doohickeys all over the place? This sort of movie is inevitably going to be watched by dweebs all over the planet who simply will not put up with this sort of thing.Takedown, I think, was the only film I've ever seen which had believable computer screens. Given the subject matter, just as well. So why not this one? There is simply no excuse. There are just too many computer-literate ppl out there now, and they all switch off as soon as they spot rubbish like that. It ruins the whole experience. Truly. If not for that, I would have given it an 8 or 9.

Laurentiu Stan The chick playing the main character is no Angela Bennett, I'll give you that (this is not a spoiler :D), but she isn't bad looking. She looks different throughout the movie, but all in all she isn't very convincing. At first I thought that it's gonna be an action movie with complex intrigue and stuff in exotic countries but the downside was that they had 90% Turkish actors, the English actors kid of underground, therefore...B movie (or maybe C?); American producer throwing 15k $ (not Turkish lira)on a documentary action feature with an American confused tour guide.If it's pouring and the cable is out...see it ...ON VIDEO.
