Certified Movie Buff: The Net 2.0

Hi guys. Another day of the weekend coming to an end. Before heading to bed, I just wanted to share with you one of the coolest movies I've watched.

I'm a big sucker for suspense films and The Net 2.0 really is suspenseful. It's a 2006 film starring Nikki Deloach. It's the sequel to Sandra Bullock's The Net back in 1995. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, I just can't find a copy.




The Net 2.0 is about the computer analyst Hope Cassidy who travels from America to Istanbul for a job. With, how'd you say, sheer bad luck and extremely bad people, she finds herself running for life- without a name, without money, without anything. She gets involved into this mad theft game, with no one to help her but herself.

It's sort of Jason Bourne-ish, but what I like about the movie really is the frustration of Hope Cassidy to prove that she's not the criminal Kelly Roos, without anyone to vouch for her. We're talking about American Embassy sabotage, wiped clean bank account, a phony woman pretending to be Hope Cassidy, and the works. 

If you're all about teeth-gritting-out-of-frustration movies, this one is for you. 

Have a great weekend guys. Cheerio!
