Great acting. The film is 3 hours long but it really will not feel like it. It is brilliant. You really feel for the characters. This is full of suspense and twist. The film follows all the characters and pieces things together perfectly. It makes you look at internet games in a different way. The question is will they actually make this game ? I hope so in a way (just for fun obviously). It is a film that i found myself asking... If only !!! you will see what i mean when you watch it. This will not dissapoint.

Interesting mid-nineties retrospective
Review date: 2006-02-17 Rating: 8 out of 10
I remember seeing this when it was first screened and it was great to watch it again 10 years on. It centres around a bunch of flat-sharing students in mid-nineties Brighton who, amongst the usual things, like to spend their spare time messing about with the internet. They discover from a dubious source an internet game called Killer Net, which although coming from the US features a conveniently local setting and real-life characters. As the plot progesses the game proceeds to become even more disturbingly lifelike as a real murder is commited exactly as featured in the game. The plot is a little disjointed, but its still an interesting retrospective on mid-nineties Brighton and student life, with scenes featuring rave clubs which were at their peak at the time, the fashions of the day, and obviously the early days of the internet. Broadband and camcorders were then still a twinkle in Microsofts eye, and in order to communicate with someone live online you really did need to do some major surgery to your hard drive. Oh and you could also quickly run up a £1000 telephone bill too. The cast features Paul Bettany, and Emily Woof, plus a young Zoe Lucker who later appeared in footballers wives!

This film had real potential, the story line sounded interesting and Paul Bettany is a fine actor. I really did give this film a chance but it lacked so many things. A story being one of them, it just didn't gel. The acting was just terrible but with the dialogue given they did do their best. I expected more from this, I would avoid this film its not even good for a laugh.

Well i actually liked it, it was pretty gripping as you'd expect from Ms La Plante and the characters were comlex without being hard to think about, the idea itself, though ludicrous, was appealing, I wanna play a net game this involved (well I take that back actually I don't want to stalk then kill someone) but the idea of someone watching individual users and selecting them for a major interactive game whilst all the time this mad plot is going on to kill innocent women and point the finger at someone else is all very interesting, shame its not available on DVD, why not eh?
Stunning......
