woman become victim of cyber identity theft and tries to get her life back

The Net 2.0 is an above average movie for its genre.It is basically the story of a woman who has her identity along with her life stolen,as if she never existed.she must then try to get it back.this movie is not a sequel to the original.in fact it has none of the characters from that movie.nevertheless,it is suspenseful,riveting and action packed.there are of course a few plot twists,some predictable,others not.the acting is more than decent,especially from Nikki Deloach(TV's North Shore) as Hope Cassidy,the main character.She is very credible as a woman who has lost everything.the supporting cast are also strong.the direction is a bit suspect at times,as the director utilizes many jump shots throughout.A jump shot is essentially a type of camera trick.this is used to make the action flashier for the audience.However,it has been done so much before that audiences are mot impressed.minor quibble aside,however,Net 2.0 is overall a well done,entertaining and fun movie.well worth your 90 minutes. 7/10
