Trivia:

Goofs:

Factual errors: Interpol has no investigative branch/field agents. The investigative police of the European Union is called Europol. Interpol solely compiles and distributes intelligence gathered by local and federal EU member state police agencies, much like the US NSA except the NSA has field agents to also gather information and investigate crimes.

Movie Connections:

Follows The Net (1995)

A total disappointment

This was like The Net, but with no tech, and a crappier story line. Threw out the whole movie you are left asking "why do I care". This was a grasp at the cult fallowing that The Net had, and it could have failed worse. The only upside (i saw that sarcastically) to this movie was that you always knew what was going to happen next. You will sit there waiting for the twist that never comes.

I loved The Net, and even though my friends told me this movie was no good, I saw it. Now I am left wishing for that hour and half of my life back (and the 5 bucks I spent renting it). It is movies like this that helps me understand why people download movies they have not heard of.
